It is not your outward appearance that you should beautify, but your soul, adorning it with good works.

The rule of life for a perfect person is to be in the image and likeness of God.

And Numenius, the Pythagorean philosopher, expressly writes: 'For what is Plato, but Moses speaking in Attic Greek.'

If in this life there are so many ways for purification and repentance, how much more should there be after death! The purification of souls, when separated from the body, will be easier.

GOD became man so that we in our turn may become God.
