Thus, churches can commit themselves to the love of self and while communities can commit themselves to the love of God.

One refers to the ultimate difference between those in union with Adam and those in union with Christ. But these believers and non-believers co-exist within the other sense of the two cities, which have to do with the authorities of church and state. So in one sense they are anti-thetical, in another sense mixed. As I read Augustine, there are two senses of the two cities.
