To Turbantius — fragments in Against Julian · §6-23-71

Julian argument and allegation

Against Julian 6.23.71

It is contradictory for the person who says, ‘It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me,’ also to say, ‘I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh.’ (Galatians 2:20; Romans 7:18)

You make the apostle say these things as though he meant that, despite his resistance, some hand of deadly pleasure dragged him off to prostitutes.
