2 And Jesus said, God’s kingdom is a dualty; it has an outer and an inner form.
3 As seen by man it is composed of men, of those who make confession of the name of Christ.
4 For various reasons various people crowd this outer kingdom of our God.
5 The inner kingdom is the kingdom of the soul, the kingdom of the pure in heart.
6 The outer kingdom I may well explain in parables. Behold, for I have seen you cast a great net out into the sea,
7 And when you hauled it in, lo, it was full of every kind of fish, some good, some bad, some great, some small; and I have seen you save the good and throw the bad away.
8 This outer kingdom is the net, and every kind of man is caught; but in the sorting day the bad will all be cast away, the good reserved.
9 Hear, then, the meaning of the parable of wheat and tares:
10 The sower is the son of man; the field, the world; the good seed are the children of the light; the tares, the children of the dark; the enemy, the carnal self; the harvest day, the closing of the age; the reapers are the messengers of God.
11 The reckoning day will come to every man; then will the tares be gathered up, and cast into the fire and be burned.
