Chapter 5: Death Awaits Everyone Like This

Seeing, then, that all things have an end, these two options are set before us—death and life; and everyone will go to their own place. Just as there are two kinds of coins, one of God and the other of the world, and each has its own distinct mark, so it is here as well. The unbelieving are of this world, but those who believe have, in love, the character of God the Father through Jesus Christ, by whom, if we are not prepared to die into His passion, His life is not in us.
