Canon 123

Against the heresy of Pelagius. About anathema to those who claim that Adam was created mortal regardless of the Fall.
It was pleasing: anyone who says that Adam, the first-created man, was created mortal, so that, regardless of whether he sinned or not, he would die bodily, that is, he would leave the body not as a punishment for sin, but by necessity of nature, let him be anathema.
Greek original
Ἐπὶ τῶν ἐνδοξότατων βασιλέων Ὁνωρίου τὸ δωδέκατον, καὶ Θεοδοσίου τὸ ὄγδοον, τῶν ὑπάτων, καλάνδαις Μαΐαις, εἰς Καρχηδόνα ἐν τῷ σηκρήτῳ τῆς Φαύστου ἐκκλησίας, Αὐρηλίου τοῦ ἐπισκόπου συμπάσῃ τῇ συνόδῳ προκαθίσαντος, παρεστώτων τῶν διακόνων, ἤρεσε πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπισκόποις τῆς ἐν Καρχηδόνι ἐκκλησίας, ἁγίᾳ συνόδῳ καθεστώσιν, ὧν τὰ ὀνόματα καὶ αἱ ὑπόγραφαὶ ἐνετέθησαν.

Ἵνα ὅστις λέγῃ τὸν Ἀδάμ, τὸν πρωτόπλαστσν ἄνθρωπον, θνητὸν γενόμενον οὕτως, ὡς εἴτε ἁμαρτήσοι, εἴτε μὴ ἁμαρτῆσοι, τεθνηξόμενον ἐν τῷ σώματι, τουτέστιν, ἐξελθεῖν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος μὴ τῇ ἀξίᾳ τῆς ἁμαρτίας, ἀλλὰ τῇ ἀνάγκῃ τῆς φύσεως, ἀνάθεμα ἔστω.[1]
