    Man is naturally virtuous

    All, then, as I said, are naturally constituted for the acquisition of virtue.

    …Now he who is bad, having become, through evil, sinful by nature, becomes depraved, having what he has chosen; and being sinful, sins also in his actions.

    Clement of Alexandria
    The Stromata, Book VI
    Chapter XII
