On Ephesians
“He who loves his wife, loves himself.”
The transformation of women.
Origen, [in] the third book of the commentaries on the epistle to the Ephesians, in this place wrote that in future ages women are to be changed back into men, and human bodies into souls. Rufinus chides Jerome, that he transfused this heresy — without the author’s name, and without confutation — into his commentaries.
