656# 对于那些信三位神、却仍说自己信一位神的人，仁义与信仰的联结是怎样的，前文已经说明；也就是说，仁义只在外在属世人中与信仰联结。原因在于，这人的心智处在三位神的观念中，而他的口却在承认一位神；因此，若他的心智在那一刻流入他口中的承认，就会抹去“一位神”的表述，张开嘴唇，把他的三位神吐露出来。
656# 前面（TCR 634节）已经说明，对那些相信三位神，却又说自己相信一位神的人来说，仁爱与信仰的结合是什么样或是何性质，即：仁爱与信仰的结合只在外在属世人中，或说仁爱只在外在属世人中与信仰结合。这是因为那时，心智拥有三位神的观念，而嘴上却承认一位神。然而，如果心智真的在那一刻说话，并出来进入口中的话，那么它会阻止说出一位神，而是脱口说出它的三位神。
656. The nature of the relationship between goodwill and faith in people who believe in three gods, but say they believe in one God, was shown earlier [634]. That is, their goodwill is united to their faith only in their outer, earthly self, for the reason that their mind has the idea of three gods while their mouth confesses one God. If at the moment of speaking, their mind were to come forth into what their mouth was saying, it would erase the mention of one God. Instead it would open their lips and unleash its concept of three gods.
656. It was shown above what the combination of charity and faith is like in the case of those who believe in three Gods, while claiming to believe in one; namely, charity combines with faith solely in the external natural man. The reason is that such a person's mind is set on the idea of three gods, while his lips confess only one God. If therefore his mind at that instant were to enter into the confession of his lips, it would blot out the utterance of the words 'one God', and he would open his lips and blurt out the 'three gods' he was thinking about.
656. What the conjunction of charity and faith is in those who believe in three Gods, and yet say that they believe in one, has been shown above; namely, that charity is conjoined with faith in the external natural man only. This is because the mind is then in the idea of three Gods, while the lips confess one; so that if the mind at that moment were to pour itself forth into oral confession, it would prevent the utterance of one God, and would open the lips and proclaim its three Gods.
656. It has been shown above what is the nature of the union of charity and faith with those who believe in three gods and yet declare they believe in one. It is a union of charity and faith in the external natural man only, for then the mind entertains the idea of three gods, while the lips make confession of one. If, however, the mind, at the moment the lips were speaking, were to infuse itself into the confession of the lips, it would eliminate the mention of one God, and open them to the profession of its own idea of three.
656. Qualis conjunctio charitatis et fidei est apud illos qui credunt in tres Deos, et tamen dicunt se credere in unum, supra ostensum est, scilicet quod Charitas se conjungat cum fide solum in externo naturali homine; causa est, quia mens ejus in idea trium deorum est, et os ejus in confessione unius Dei, quare si mens illo momento infunderet se in confessionem oris, expungeret enuntiationem unius Dei, et aperiret labra et excuteret suos tres Deos.
