¶1

Chapter XXII.—Male and Female.

¶2

“But a companion was created along with him, a female nature, much differing from him, as quality from substance, as the moon from the sun, as fire from light.  She, as a female ruling the present world as her like, was entrusted to be the first prophetess, announcing prophecy with all amongst those born of woman.  But the other, as the son of man, being a male, prophesies better things to the world to come as a male.
