1405、但如前面（64，647，813，1143节）所清楚说明的，内义具有这种性质：每一个事物都要脱离文字来抽象理解，就好像文字不存在一样；因为圣言的灵魂和生命在内义中，而内义不会显现，除非字义可以说消失。这就是当世人阅读圣言时，天使如何被主引导去感知圣言。

[NCE]1405. The nature of the inner meaning, though, as has been transparently demonstrated already [搂搂64, 647, 813, 1143], requires that each and every particular be understood separately from the literal meaning, as if the literal meaning did not exist. The soul and life of the Word is in the inner meaning, and it does not reveal itself unless the literal meaning vanishes, so to speak.
That is how angels 钬?enabled by the Lord 钬?perceive the Word when we on earth are reading it.{*1}

1405. But the internal sense, as has already been clearly shown, is of such a nature that all things in general and in particular are to be understood abstractly from the letter, just as if the letter did not exist; for in the internal sense is the Word's soul and life, which does not become manifest unless the sense of the letter as it were vanishes. Thus, from the Lord, do the angels perceive the Word when it is being read by man.
Elliott(1983-1999) 1405
1405. But, as clearly shown already, the internal sense is such that every single thing has to be understood apart from the letter, abstractedly - as though the letter did not exist; for within the internal sense reside the soul and life of the Word, which are not open to view unless the sense of the letter so to speak vanishes. This is how angels are led by the Lord to perceive the Word when it is being read by man.
Latin(1748-1756) 1405
1405. Sed sensus internus ita se habet, ut hactenus luculenter ostensum, quod omnia et singula abstracte a littera intelligenda, sicut quod littera non foret; in sensu interno enim est anima et vita Verbi, quae non patet nisi sensus litterae quasi evanescat: ita angeli percipiunt a Domino Verbum cum legitur ab homine.
