Canonical reference 1.12.15
Ancient Greek
καὶ οἷς ἂν ᾖ τοῦ ἐπιεικοῦς τυχεῖν. καὶ ὅσοι ἂν ἐνδεεῖς ὦσιν· διχῶς δέ εἰσιν ἐνδεεῖς· ἢ γὰρ ὡς ἀναγκαίου, ὥσπερ οἱ πένητες, ἢ ὡς ὑπερβολῆς, ὥσπερ οἱ πλούσιοι.
English
J. H. Freese, 1926
And those who hope to obtain indulgence; and all those who are in need, which is of two kinds; for men either need what is necessary, as the poor, or what is superfluous, as the wealthy.

Et ceux qui espèrent obtenir l'indulgence; ainsi que tous ceux qui sont dans le besoin, lequel est de deux sortes. Les hommes ont besoin soit du nécessaire, comme les pauvres, soit du superflu, comme les riches.
