Now the two are one when we speak with one another in truth, and there is but one soul in two bodies without dissimulation.

And by the outside as the inside he means this, that the inside is the soul, and the outside is the body. Therefore, just as your body is visible, so let your soul be apparent in your good works.

And by the male with the female neither male nor female he means this, that when a brother sees a sister he should have no

thought of her as female, nor she of him as male.[*](Or, if αὑτοῦ be read instead of αὐτοῦ, nor have any thought of himself as male.)

When you do this, he says, the kingdom of my Father will come.
