Two opposing realities exist in all things, with one always concealed and hidden by the other.

Y1🔗e see therefore, my children, how that there are two in all things, one against the other, and the one is hidden by the other.

2🔗 Death succeedeth to life, dishonour to glory, night to day, and darkness to light; and all things are under the day, and just things under life: wherefore also everlasting life awaiteth death.

3🔗 Nor may it be said that truth is a lie, nor right wrong; for all truth is under the light, even as all things are under God.

4🔗 All these things I proved in my life, and I wandered not from the truth of the Lord, and I searched out the commandments of the Most High, walking with singleness of face according to all my strength unto that which is good.
