1055、“就要记念永约”表示以便主能在仁爱中与他同在。这从关于“立约”的含义的阐述和说明清楚可知，即：除了对主之爱和对邻之爱外，再没有其它“永约”了（665-666，1025:5，1038节）。这约是永恒的，因为它从永恒延续到永恒。整个天堂都建立在爱的基础上，整个创造都是如此。因为在自然界，凡不从爱中获得其起源、拥有某种联结或结合之物，无论有生命的还是无生命的，都不存在。事实上，一切属世事物都是从某种属灵之物中产生的，属灵之物则是从属天之物中产生的，如前所述（775:2；880:2-3；911；1025:7，9节）。因此，爱或某种类似爱的东西被植入每一个事物。唯独人没有爱，只有反面，因为人摧毁了自己里面的自然秩序。但当他能够重生，或能够重新恢复秩序并接受相爱时，此处论述的通过仁爱所立的约或结合就存在了。

[NCE]1055. The fact that to remember the eternal pact means it is such that the Lord can be present with them in charity can be seen from what was said and shown above concerning the symbolism of a pact. I noted that there is no eternal compact aside from love for the Lord and love for one's neighbor [665-666, 1025:5, 1038]. This pact is eternal, because it stretches from eternity to eternity. The whole of heaven rests on love as its foundation. In fact the whole of creation does, because nothing animate or inanimate in the physical world that involves any kind of union or affiliation can possibly exist without tracing its origin to love. This is because everything in the physical world springs from something spiritual, and everything spiritual, from something heavenly, as mentioned earlier [775:2; 880:2-3; 911; 1025:7, 9]. So each and every object has love (or something resembling love) implanted in it. Only humankind lacks love. In us love is replaced by its opposite, since we have destroyed the proper pattern of nature in ourselves. But when we are capable of being reborn, or being restored once more to the proper pattern, and welcoming mutual love, there is a pact. That is to say, charity (the subject here) then creates a bond.
Potts(1905-1910) 1055
1055. That I may remember the eternal covenant. That this signifies that the Lord can be present with him in charity, is evident from what has been said and shown about the signification of a "covenant" namely, that there is no other "eternal covenant" than love to the Lord and love toward the neighbor. This is eternal, because from eternity to eternity. The universal heaven is founded in love, and so is universal nature; for in nature nothing whatever is possible-in which there is any union and conjunction, whether it be animate or inanimate-that does not derive its origin from love. For every natural thing comes into existence from something spiritual, and the spiritual from the celestial, as said above. Hence love, or a semblance of love, has been implanted in all things in general and in particular; with man alone there is not love, but the contrary, because man has destroyed in himself the order of nature. When however he can be regenerated, or restored again to order, and can receive mutual love, then there is "the covenant" or conjunction by charity, that is here treated of.
Elliott(1983-1999) 1055
1055. 'To remember the eternal covenant' means so that the Lord can be present with him within charity. This is clear from what has been stated and shown above about the meaning of a covenant, namely, that there is no other eternal covenant except love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour. This covenant is eternal because it lasts from eternity into eternity. The whole of heaven is founded on love, as indeed is the whole natural order, for in the natural order nothing whatever exists, possessing any union or conjunction, which does not trace its origin back to love, whether it be animate or inanimate. Indeed everything natural arises from what is spiritual, and what is spiritual does so from what is celestial, as stated above. Consequently love, or the semblance of it, is implanted in every single thing. Man is the only being with whom love does not reside but the contrary, for man has destroyed within himself the order of nature. But when he is able to be regenerated, that is, to be restored again to order and receive mutual love, then the covenant or conjunction by means of charity exists, which is the subject here.
Latin(1748-1756) 1055
1055. 'Ad recordandum foederis aeterni': quod significet ut Dominus praesens possit apud eum esse in charitate, constat ex illis quae de significatione foederis supra dicta et ostensa sunt, quod nempe nullum aliud foedus aeternum sit quam amor in Dominum et amor erga proximum; hoc aeternum est quia ab aeterno in aeternum universum caelum fundatum est in amore, immo universa natura, nam in natura nihil quicquam datur ubi aliqua unio et conjunctio, quod non originem trahat ab amore, sive animatum sit sive non animatum, omne enim naturale existit a spirituali, et spirituale caelesti, ut supra dictum; inde omnibus et singulis amor implantari est, aut instar amoris; solum apud hominem non est amor se contrarium, quia homo ordinem naturae in se destruxit; at cur regenerari potest seu iterum restitui ordini, et accipere amorem mutuum, tunc est foedus seu conjunctio per charitatem, de qua tu agitur.
