561、但什么是余剩呢？余剩不仅包括人打小从主的圣言学习，因而刻在记忆里的良善与真理，还包括由此而来的所有状态，如自童年早期以来的纯真状态；爱父母、兄弟、教师、朋友的状态；对邻之仁，以及怜悯困苦穷乏人的状态；总之，就是良善与真理的一切状态。这些状态，连同刻在记忆里的良善与真理就被称为余剩，它们被主保存在人里面，并储存在他的内在人中，尽管此人自己完全没有意识到这一点。此处它们与人自己的东西，也就是邪恶和虚假完全分离。所有这些状态都被主保存在人里面，丝毫没有丢失。我从以下事实得知这一点：从婴孩直到老年，人的每一个状态不仅延续到来世，而且还会重现。事实上，这些状态会回到他活在世上时的样子。不仅记忆里的良善与真理，而且纯真与仁爱的一切状态都这样延续并重现。当邪恶与虚假的状态再次出现时（其中的每一个状态，直至最小细节也都延续并重现），主就通过纯真与仁爱的状态节制它们。由此明显可知，人若没有余剩，必受到永恒的诅咒（参看468节）。

[NCE]561. To explain what a remnant is: It is not just the good and true things that we learn out of the Lord's Word from the time we are small and that become stamped on our memory. It is also all the states that rise out of those things, such as a state of innocence from babyhood, a state of love for our parents, siblings, teachers, and friends, a state of charity toward our neighbor and compassion toward the poverty-stricken and needy. In short, it is all states of goodness or truth.
These states, along with the good and true things imprinted on our memory, are called a remnant. The Lord preserves them in us, hiding them away in our inner being without our slightest awareness and carefully separating them from the things that are our own — in other words, from evil and falsity.
The Lord preserves all these states in us in such a way that not even the least significant of them is lost. This I learned from the fact that every one of our states from infancy to extreme old age not only remains in the other life but even returns. When we relive them, they are identical to the experience we first lived through in the world. This happens not only with the good and true things etched on our memory but also with any state of innocence or charity we have experienced. In addition, each and every one of our states of evil and falsity (or malice and delusion) remains and returns as well, in all its minutest detail. And when the latter states come back to us, the Lord tempers them by means of the former. All of which shows that if we had no remnant, we could not help being damned for eternity (see above at 468).

561. But what are remains? They are not only the goods and truths that a man has learned from the Lord's Word from infancy, and has thus impressed on his memory, but they are also all the states thence derived, such as states of innocence from infancy; states of love toward parents, brothers, teachers, friends; states of charity toward the neighbor, and also of pity for the poor and needy; in a word, all states of good and truth. These states together with the goods and truths impressed on the memory, are called remains, which are preserved in man by the Lord and are stored up, entirely without his knowledge, in his internal man, and are completely separated from the things that are proper to man, that is, from evils and falsities. All these states are so preserved in man by the Lord that not the least of them is lost, as I have been given to know from the fact that every state of a man, from his infancy to extreme old age, not only remains in the other life, but also returns; in fact his states return exactly as they were while he lived in this world. Not only do the goods and truths of memory thus remain and return, but also all states of innocence and charity. And when states of evil and falsity recur-for each and all of these, even the smallest, also remain and return-then these states are tempered by the Lord by means of the good states. From all this it is evident that if a man had no remains he must necessarily be in eternal damnation. (See what was said before at n. 468.)

561. But what are remnants? Not only the goods and truths which one has learned from the Word of the Lord from early childhood onwards and so had imprinted in his memory, but also all resulting states, such as states of innocence from early childhood; states of love towards parents, brothers and sisters, teachers, and friends; states of charity towards the neighbour, and also of compassion on the poor and needy; in short, all states involving good and truth. These states, together with the goods and truths that have been imprinted in the memory, are called remnants, which the Lord preserves with a person and stores away in his internal man, though the person himself is not at all directly conscious of this. Here they are separated completely from the things that are the person's own, that is, evils and falsities. The Lord so preserves all of those states with the individual that not even the least of them perishes. I have been given to know this from the fact that every one of man's states from his infancy right through to extreme old age not only carries over into the next life but also reappears. Indeed those states are exactly the same as when he lived in the world. Thus not only are goods and truths in the memory carried over, but also all states of innocence and charity. And when states of evil and falsity, or wickedness and false notions, recur - for every single one of these as well, down to the smallest detail, is carried over and reappears - they are at that time moderated by the Lord through those states of innocence and charity. From all this it becomes clear that if a person possessed no remnants, he would inevitably be subject to eternal condemnation. See what has appeared already in 468.

561. Sed ut sciatur quid 'reliquiae'; sunt non solum bona et vera quae ex Verbo Domini homo usque ab infantia didicit, et sic memoriae ejus impressa; sed etiam sunt omnes status inde, sicut status innocentiae ab infantia, status amoris erga parentes, fratres, instructores, amicos; status charitatis erga proximum, ut et misericordiae erga pauperes et egenos; verbo omnes status boni et veri: hi status cum bonis et veris memoriae impressis dicuntur reliquiae, quae a Domino apud hominem conservantur et reconduntur in interno ejus homine, illo prorsus nesciente, et separantur probe ab iis quae sunt hominis propria, seu mala et falsa: omnes illi status ita conservantur a Domino apud hominem ut ne minimum illorum pereat; quod scire mihi datum ex eo quod unusquisque status hominis ab infantia ejus usque ad ultimam senectam, in altera vita non solum remaneat sed etiam redeat, et quidem prorsus ita sicut fuerunt dum vixit in mundo; ita non solum bona et vera memoriae sed etiam status innocentiae et charitatis omnes; et quando status mali et falsi, seu malitiae et phantasiae, recurrunt, qui etiam omnes et singuli quoad omnia minima remanent et redeunt, tunc a Domino hi status per illos temperantur; ex quibus constare potest, si homo nullas reliquias haberet, quod nusquam posset aliter quam in damnatione aeterna se; videantur quae prius, n. 468.
