Œuvres Augustin d'Hippone (354-430) Epistulae (CCEL) Letters of St. Augustin
Second Division.
Letter CII.

22.

Question IV. Let us, in the next place, consider what he has laid down concerning the proportion between sin and punishment when, misrepresenting the gospel, he says: "Christ threatens eternal punishment to those who do not believe in Him;" 1 and yet He says in another place, "With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." 2 "Here," he remarks, "is something sufficiently absurd and contradictory; for if He is to award punishment according to measure, and all measure is limited by the end of time, what mean these threats of eternal punishment?"
