Adversus Marcionem
The discipline of marriage, divorce, and sexual continence discussed as a point of contrast between Paul, Moses, Christ, and Marcion.
Marcion, taking away all conjugal intercourse from the faithful (let his catechumens see to it), ordering repudiation before marriage — whose sentence does he follow, Moses' or Christ's?
De Pudicitia
The Pauline concessions of marriage and counsels of continence, contrasted with irremissible fornication.
Which, if he has indulged or does indulge to anyone, surely he has broken the counsel of his own remedy, and he will now be bound to bridle marriages by continence, if fornication, on account of which they are permitted, shall not be feared.
