213. And to know that I have loved thee. That this signifies knowledge thence, that the Lord is present in charity and not in faith without it, is evident from the signification of knowing, as denoting knowledge; and from the signification of, I have loved thee, when predicated of the Lord, as denoting that He is present. The reason why it denotes His being present in charity and not in faith without it is, that the subject treated of is those who are in the faith of charity (as may be seen above, n. 14:21, 23).
213. And to know that I have loved thee, signifies a consequent knowledge that the Lord is present in charity, and not in faith apart from charity. This is evident from the signification of "to know," as being knowledge; and from the signification of "to love," as being, in reference to the Lord, that He is present. It means that He is present in charity, and not in faith apart from charity, because those are here treated of who are in the faith of charity (See above, n. John 14:21, 23).
213. "Et sciant quod Ego dilexi te." - Quod significet cognitionem inde quod Dominus in charitate praesens sit et non in fide absque illa, constat ex significatione "scire", quod sit cognitio; et ex significatione "diligere", cum de Domino, quod sit quod praesens sit: quod praesens sit in charitate et non in fide absque illa, est quia agitur de illis qui in fide charitatis sunt (videatur supra, n. 203); ac Dominus praesens est in affectione seu amore hominis, ita in ejus spiritus vita, nam amor seu affectio facit vitam spiritus ejus; consequenter Dominus praesens est in charitate, nam charitas est ipsa affectio seu amor spiritualis hominis; et quia Dominus praesens est in charitate apud hominem, patet quod non praesens sit in fide absque charitate: fides absque charitate nec est spiritualis; quare nec est intus in homine et facit vitam ejus, sed extra illum in memoria, et inde in aliqua cogitatione naturali.
Quod "diligi", cum a Domino, sit quod praesens sit, est quia dilectio seu amor facit conjunctionem et inde praesentiam, ac Dominus ad illum qui diligit, intrat ac docet et ducit; et quoque ei dat ut diligat Ipsum, hoc est, ut mandata et praecepta Ipsius faciat, nam hoc est diligere Dominum. Quod Dominus praesens sit apud illum quem diligit, et quod diligat Ipsum qui mandata et praecepta Ipsius facit, docet Ipse apud Johannem:
"Qui tenet praecepta mea et facit illa, is est qui diligit Me, et qui diligit Me diligetur a Patre meo, et Ego diligam eum, ... et ad eum veniemus, et apud eum mansionem faciemus" (14:21, 23).
