10653.“不可为自己铸造神像”表对自我,而不是对主的敬拜。这从“铸造神像”的含义清楚可知。“铸造神像”是指建立与自我之爱一致的敬拜(参看10406,10503节);与自我之爱一致的敬拜就是对自我,而不是对主的敬拜;因为对自我的敬拜是目的,对主的敬拜是达到这个目的的手段。凡为目的的,都是主人;凡为手段的,都是仆人;目的看待手段的方式,就如同主人看待仆人的。这就是那些视教会的圣物为手段,视掌权为目的之人当中敬拜的样子。

10653. Thou shalt not make for thee molten gods. That this signifies the worship of self, and not of the Lord, is evident from the signification of "making molten gods," as being to institute worship in accord with the love of self (see n. 10406, 10503); and worship that is in accord with the love of self is the worship of self, and not of the Lord; for the worship of self is the end, and the worship of the Lord is the means to this end. That which is the end rules, and that which is the means serves, nor is the means regarded by the end in any other way than as a servant is regarded by his lord. Such is the worship with those who regard the holy things of the church as means, and dominion as the end.

10653. 'You shall not make gods of cast metal for yourself' means worship of self and not of the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'making gods of cast metal' as establishing worship in tune with self-love, dealt with in 10406, 10503, and worship that is in tune with self-love is worship of self and not of the Lord, because worship of self is the end, whereas worship of the Lord is the means to that end. Whatever is the end is the master and whatever is the means is the servant; and the means is regarded by the end in no other way than as a servant is by his master. This is what worship is like with those who regard the holy things of the Church as the means, and mastery as the end.

10653. `Deos fusilis non facies tibi': quod significet cultum sui et non Domini, constat ex significatione `facere deos fusilis' quod sit instituere cultum secundum amorem sui, de qua n. 10406, 10503; (c)ac cultus secundum amorem sui est cultus sui et non Domini, nam cultus sui est finis, at cultus Domini est medium ad illum finem; quod finis est hoc {1}dominatur, et quod medium est hoc {2}servit, {3}nec aliter spectatur medium a fine quam sicut servus a Domino. Talis cultus est {4}apud illos qui sancta {5} Ecclesiae spectant ut media ac dominia pro fine. @1 dominus est$ @2 servus est$ @3 nam medium inservit fini, ut servus domino, nec aliter spectatur medium a fine; ita est cultus sui et non Domini, qui significatur per facere deos fusiles$ @4 omnium illorum$ @5 i Verbi et$
