THE SOUL BOTH IMPASSIBLE AND PUNISHABLE.
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
12. There is a contradiction between our own former opinion that the soul cannot sin, and the universally admitted belief that the soul commits sins, expiates them, undergoes punishments in Hades, and that she passes into new bodies. Although we seem to be in a dilemma, forcing us to choose between them, it might be possible to show they are not incompatible.
