761、前面（741，751节）说过，发生在人里面的属灵试探是与他同在的恶灵和天使之间的争战，这种争战通常在他的良心中被感受到。关于这争战，还要知道，天使不断保护人，避开恶灵竭力向他所行的邪恶。他们甚至保护人里面的虚假和邪恶，因为他们非常清楚其虚假和邪恶来自何处，即来自恶灵和魔鬼。人从自己决不会制造任何虚假和邪恶。相反，制造它们的，是与他同在的恶灵；这些恶灵不但制造它们，还说服他相信它们来源于他自己，是他凭自己制造的。这就是他们的恶毒。更有甚者，当他们将这种信念灌输给他，并说服他相信时，还指控和谴责他，我可以通过大量经历证实这一点。凡不信主的，都不能在这个问题上被光照，从而不可避免地相信邪恶来自他自己。因此，他将邪恶变成自己的，并变得像那些与他同在的恶灵。人的情况就是这样。天使清楚这一点，故在一个人经历重生的试探期间，甚至保护他的虚假和邪恶。要不然，他就会屈服，因为人里面只有邪恶和由此衍生的虚假，以致他纯粹是邪恶及其虚假的集聚和组合。

[NCE]761. I have already said [741, 751] that spiritual struggle is a battle inside us between the evil spirits and angels present with us, and that we sense this conflict indistinctly in our conscience.
Further vital information about this combat is that angels constantly defend us and deflect the evil that the evil spirits intend against us. They even defend the falsity and evil we have in us, because they know very well where we obtained the falsity and evil: from evil spirits and demons. We never produce anything misguided or wicked out of ourselves. It is the evil spirits with us who produce it and at the same time cause us to believe that it comes from us. Such is their malevolence. What is more, at the same instant that they are filling us with these things and making us believe this way, they are also accusing and condemning us. I can back this claim with many different experiences.
Those lacking faith in the Lord cannot receive light dispelling this belief that they are the source of evil, so they adopt the evil as their own and become just like the evil spirits who accompany them. That is the human condition.
As angels are aware of this, during the trials of regeneration they even defend our falsity and evil. Otherwise we would suffer defeat, since we have nothing in us that is not evil and therefore false and are accordingly nothing more than a heap and conglomeration of evils and resulting falsities.

761. That spiritual temptation in man is a combat of the evil spirits with the angels who are with him, and that this combat is commonly felt in his conscience, has been stated before, and concerning this combat it should also be known that angels continually protect man and avert the evils which evil spirits endeavor to do to him. They even protect what is false and evil in a man, for they know very well whence his falsities and evils come, namely, from evil spirits and genii. Man does not produce anything false and evil from himself, but it is the evil spirits with him who produce it, and at the same time make the man believe that he does it of himself. Such is their malignity. And what is more, at the moment when they are infusing and compelling this belief, they accuse and condemn him, as I can confirm from many experiences. The man who has not faith in the Lord cannot be enlightened so as not to believe that he does evil of himself, and he therefore appropriates the evil to himself, and becomes like the evil spirits that are with him. Such is the case with man. As the angels know this, in the temptations of regeneration they protect also the falsities and evils of a man, for otherwise he would succumb. For there is nothing in a man but evil and the falsity thence derived, so that he is a mere assemblage and compound of evils and their falsities.
Elliott(1983-1999) 761
761. It has been stated already that spiritual temptation when it takes place in someone is a conflict between the evil spirits and the angels residing with that person, and that he ordinarily feels that conflict in his conscience. As regards such conflict it should be recognized in addition that the angels are protecting man constantly and are warding off the evils that evil spirits direct against him. They protect even the falsities and the evils with a person, for they are fully aware of where the person's falsities and evils come from - from evil spirits and genii. Man in no sense produces any falsity and evil from himself. Instead it is the evil spirits residing with him who produce them, and as they do so they also convince him that these originate in himself. Such is the nature of their wickedness. And what is more, the moment they instill this into him and convince him, they also accuse and condemn him. This I can confirm from a multitude of experiences. Anyone who has no faith in the Lord is incapable of being enlightened in the matter; he inevitably believes that an evil is from himself. Consequently he makes the evil his own and becomes like those evil spirits residing with him. Such is the situation with man. And as the angels are aware of it they protect even a person's falsities and evils while he is undergoing the temptations that are part of regeneration. Otherwise he would go under, for with man there is nothing but evil and derivative falsity, so that he is just a heap and conglomeration of evils and derivative falsities.
Latin(1748-1756) 761
761. Quod tentatio spiritualis apud hominem sit pugna spirituum malorum cum angelis qui apud hominem, et quod illa pugna communiter in ejus conscientia sentiatur, prius dictam est: de qua pugna porro hoc sciendum est, quod angeli {1}continue defendant hominem et avertant mala quae mali spiritus ei intendunt; etiam quae falsa sunt et mala apud hominem defendunt, nam norunt optime unde homini falsa et mala, nempe quod a malis spiritibus et geniis; homo nusquam producit a se aliquid falsum et malum, sed sunt mali spiritus qui apud eum, qui producunt et simul faciunt homini credere quod ex ipsomet; talis est malignitas eorum; et adhuc magis, momento cum infundunt et faciunt credere, etiam accusant et damnant; quod multis experientiis confirmare possum. Homo qui non fidem habet in Dominum, non potest illustrari, quin credat quod malum sit ab ipso; quare etiam appropriat sibi malum, et fit similis spiritibus istis malis qui apud eum; ita se res habet cum homine: hoc quia angeli norunt, etiam in tentationibus regenerationis falsa et mala hominis defendunt; alioquin succumberet, quia apud hominem nihil nisi quam malum est et inde falsum, sic ut sit malorum et inde falsorum mera congeries et compositio. @1 continuo I.$
