Letter 320
To the Same.
The filthy garments spoken of in Scripture are wicked thoughts, and base words, and lawless deeds. This is why it was said concerning Judas in the book of Psalms: "He clothed himself with cursing as with a garment" [Psalm 108:18 LXX]; and: "Let those who seek evils against me be clothed with shame and disgrace" [Psalm 34:26 LXX]. For nothing so shames a person, and shows him to be accursed, as sin.

Latin / Greek Original
Τὰ τῇ Γραφῇ ἐμφερόμενα ῥυπαρὰ ἱμάτια, λογισμοί εἰσι πονηροί, καὶ λόγοι φαῦλοι, καὶ πράξεις παράνομοι. Διόπερ περὶ τοῦ Ἰούδα ἐν βίβλω Ψαλμῶν, ἐῤῥέθη «Ἐνεδύσατο κατάραν ὡς ἱμάτιον·» καὶ «Ἐνδυσάσθωσαν αἰσχύνην, καὶ ἐντροπὴν οἱ ζητοῦντες τὰ κακά μοι.» Οὐδὲν δὲ οὕτως αἰσχύνει, καὶ ἐπάρατον δείκνυσι τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ὡς ἁμαρτία.
