685、来世有许多奇妙的组合，好比世上的家庭关系，也就是说，他们视彼此为父母、子女、兄弟，以及血亲和姻亲关系，他们对彼此的爱就反映了这些不同层次的关系。其种类无穷无尽，并且可交流的感知如此精妙，以至于无法描述。那里的人根本不关心在世上谁曾是谁的父母、子女，或血亲和姻亲关系；他们也不在乎一个人过去的外在身份是什么，因而不在乎这个人是否拥有重要地位或财富，等等，只关心相爱和信仰的差别，以及接受爱和信的能力，而爱和信是他活在世上时从主那里获得的。

[NCE]685. The ties that connect people in the next life are remarkable. They are like family ties on earth, in that some acknowledge others as parents, as children, as siblings, as blood relatives, and as more distant connections. Their love for one another reflects these different levels of relationship. The varieties come in unlimited number. The way they are communicated and perceived is so exquisite that it cannot be described.
People there pay no attention at all to who was whose parent, child, blood relative, or connection on earth. They do not care what a person's outer identity was like, whether the individual had importance or wealth, and so on. They look only at differences in mutual love and in faith, and at what kind of capacity for welcoming love and faith a person has received from the Lord while living in the world.
Potts(1905-1910) 685
685. There are wonderful consociations in the other life which may be compared to relationships on earth: that is to say, they recognize one another as parents, children, brothers, and relations by blood and by marriage, the love being according to such varieties of relationship. These varieties are endless, and the communicable perceptions are so exquisite that they cannot be described. The relationships have no reference at all to the circumstance that those who are there had been parents, children, or kindred by blood and marriage on earth; and they have no respect to person, no matter what anyone may have been. Thus they have no regard to dignities, nor to wealth, nor to any such matters, but solely to varieties of mutual love and of faith, the faculty for the reception of which they had received from the Lord while they had lived in the world.
Elliott(1983-1999) 685
685. Marvellous ties exist between people in the next life. They are comparable to family relationships on earth, that is to say, they accept one another as parents, children, brothers, blood relatives, and relatives by marriage, their love for one another according with such differences. These differences are limitless, and the perceptions communicable are so excellent as to defy description. No thought at all is given to what they once were on earth - parents, children, blood relatives, or relatives by marriage. Nor is any thought given at all to what a person's social position has been, no matter who - to his positions of honour, or his wealth, and so on - only to the varying embodiments of mutual love and faith; and the ability to receive these they acquired from the Lord while they were in the world.
Latin(1748-1756) 685
685. Consociationes mirabiles sunt in altera vita; se habent comparative sicut affinitates in terris, nempe quod agnoscantur sicut parentes, sicut liberi, sicut fratres, sicut consanguinei, sicut affines; secundum tales differentias est amor; differentiae sunt indefinitae, perceptiones communicativae ita exquisitae ut non describi possint; nullo prorsus respectu habito ad parentes, liberos, consanguineos et affines in terra, nec ad aliquam personam qualiscumque fuit, ita non ad dignitates, non ad divitias, et similia, sed solum ad amoris mutui et fidei differentias, quarum recipiendarum facultatem acceperunt a Domino cum vixerunt in mundo.
