4320# 源自独一之主的生命在每个人身上都显现为似乎是他们自己所拥有的，这源于主对全人类的爱与怜悯。主希望将属于他的一切赐予每个人，并让每个人获得永恒的幸福。我们知道，爱的本质就是将自己所有的给予他人，使自己存在于他人之中并在他人里面彰显同在，而神性之爱更是如此。
即使是恶人也会接受来自主的生命，这种现象类似于世界上的万物接受太阳之光而呈现不同的颜色。物体会根据自身的形态接受阳光：那些阻碍和扭曲光线的物体会显现为黑暗或污秽的颜色，但即便是这种黑暗和污秽的状态，也是因为接受了太阳之光而产生的。同样地，从主而来的光与生命在恶人身上也是如此运作，但这种生命状态并非真正的生命，而是一种灵性意义上的死亡。
4320.唯独从主而来的生命在每个人身上都看似在他自己里面，这由于主对全人类的爱或仁慈。也就是说，祂的旨意就是使祂自己的东西成为每个人自己的，并将永恒的幸福赐给每个人。众所周知，爱将它自己的东西赋予别人，因为它在对方里面显现自己，将使自己呈现在他里面。那么神性之爱的情形又会如何呢？恶人也接受出自主的生命，这种接受如同世上的物体；所有物体都从太阳接受光，并由此接受色彩；只是每种物体对它们的接受都取决于该物体所取的形式。吸收并扭曲这光的物体显出黑色或丑陋的颜色，然而它们是从太阳之光获得其黑色和丑陋。恶人当中出自主的光或生命也是如此；但这生命并不是生命，而是所谓的属灵死亡。
Potts(1905-1910) 4320
4320. That the life which is from the Lord alone appears with everyone as if it were in himself, is from the Lord's love or mercy toward the universal human race, in that He wills to appropriate to each one what is His own, and to give to everyone eternal happiness. It is known that love appropriates to another what is its own; for it presents itself within the other, and makes itself present in him. How much more the Divine love! That the evil also receive the life which is from the Lord, is as with objects in the world, all of which receive light from the sun, and thereby colors, but according to their forms. Objects which suffocate and pervert the light appear of a black or foul color, but yet have their blackness and foulness from the sun's light. So is it with the light or life from the Lord with the evil; but this life is not life, but is (as it is called) spiritual death.

4320. The reason why the life which comes from the Lord alone seems with everyone to be intrinsically his own lies in the Lord's love or mercy towards the whole human race. That is to say, His will is to make that which is His every person's own and to confer eternal happiness on every person. It is well known that love imparts that which is its own to another, for it manifests itself within that other and causes itself to be present within him. What then must the situation be with Divine love? The reception by the evil also of the life which comes from the Lord is like objects in the world, all of which receive light from the sun and as a result colours, though each object receives these according to the form it takes. Objects which absorb the light and pervert it appear black or hideous, and yet they acquire their black and hideous appearance from the light of the sun. So too with the light or life with the evil which comes from the Lord, though this life is not really life but, as it is also called, spiritual death.
Latin(1748-1756) 4320
4320. Quod vita quae a solo Domino, appareat apud unumquemque sicut foret in ipso, est ex amore seu misericordia Domini erga universum genus humanum, quod nempe unicuique velit appropriare quod Suum est, et unicuique dare felicitatem aeternam; quod amor appropriet alteri quod suum est, notum est, sistit enim se in altero, et praesentem in illo facit, quid non Amor Divinus? Quod mali etiam recipiant vitam quae a Domino, se habet sicut objecta mundi, quae omnia recipiunt lucem a sole et inde colores, sed secundum formas; objecta quae suffocant lucem et pervertunt, apparent colore nigro aut foedo, at usque nigrum suum et foedum habent a luce solis; ita lux seu vita a Domino apud malos; at haec vita non est vita sed est, sicut vocatur, mors spiritualis.
