and cast them into a furnace of fire; and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Hear, therefore, the parable of the sower.

So shall it be at the consummation of the world. The angels shall come forth and separate the evil from the midst of the good,

which, when it was full, men drew to the shore, and sifting down put up the good in vessels and cast the bad away.

And are not his sisters all with us? Whence then has this man all these things?
