Synopsis: Around 418 Pelagius was asked by Albina, Pinianus, and Melania, wealthy Roman converts to Christianity, to provide a written condemnation of all that had been alleged against him. In response he provided the following anathema in their presence. It is unclear whether this is the complete written statement or just a fragment. It is found quoted in Augustine of Hippo’s two part work On the Grace of Christ, and On Original Sin. - DRJ

"I anathematize the man who either thinks or says that the grace of God, whereby 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners', is not necessary not only for every hour and for every moment, but also for every act of our lives: and those who endeavor to disannul it deserve everlasting punishment."

- Signed by Pelagius
