_Socr._ Since, my friend, there are two models in the nature of things,
one divine and most happy, the other ungodly and most miserable, they,
not perceiving that this is the case, through stupidity and extreme
folly, unknown to themselves become similar to the one by unjust
actions, and dissimilar to the other. Wherefore they are punished, by
leading a life suited to that to which they are assimilated. But if we
should tell them, that unless they abandon this excellence, that place
which is free from all evil will not receive them when dead, but here
they will always lead a life resembling themselves, and there will
associate with evil, these things, as being altogether shrewd and
crafty, they will listen to as the extravagances of foolish men.
