131、⑿由于教会来自主，故婚姻之爱也来自主。这一点从前面所述可推知，故不再进一步论证。此外，天上的所有天使皆见证，真正的婚姻之爱来自主；他们还见证，这爱取决于他们智慧的状态，智慧的状态又取决于教会状态。这就是天上的天使所作的见证，这一点从各章节末尾的记事明显可知，这些事都是我在灵界的所见所闻。
131、（12）因为教会来自于主，婚姻之爱也同样来自于主。因为这点与上述的相关，这里不会进一步说明。同时，天使们也说过真正的婚姻之爱来自于主，这种爱依赖于一个人的智慧程度，一个人的智慧程度依赖于人的教会程度，这些也正是我们在精神世界中所见到的。
131. (xii) Since the church is from the Lord, so too is conjugial love from Him.
As this follows from what was said above, I refrain from giving further proofs. Moreover, all the angels of heaven bear witness to the fact that conjugial love comes from the Lord; and also that this love depends upon one's state of wisdom, and this depends on the state of the church with one. This witness by the angels of heaven is plainly recorded in the accounts of experiences seen and heard in the spiritual world, to be found at the end of each chapter.
131. 12. So, then, because the church comes from the Lord, conjugial love comes from Him as well. Because this follows as a consequence from what we have already said, I refrain from confirming it further. Besides, the angels of heaven all testify that truly conjugial love comes from the Lord; and they testify also that this love depends on the state of their wisdom, and that the state of their wisdom depends on the state of the church in them. That angels of heaven testify to these points is apparent from the narrative accounts at the end of the chapters, which are things I saw and heard in the spiritual world.
131. 12. The church comes from the Lord, so married love does, too.
This follows from what has already been said, so I refrain from reinforcing it with more words. Besides, all the angels in heaven will testify that real love in marriage comes from the Lord, and also that this love is in keeping with the condition of their wisdom, and the condition of their wisdom keeps pace with the condition of their religion. (The stories after this chapter, seen and heard in the spiritual world, make it clear that the angels do testify to this.)
131. XII. AND BECAUSE THE CHURCH IS FROM THE LORD, THAT CONJUGIAL LOVE ALSO IS FROM HIM. As this follows from what has been said above, I refrain from further confirmation. Moreover, that love truly conjugial is from the Lord is testified to by all the angels of heaven; and also that that love is according to the state of wisdom with them, and the state of wisdom according to the state of the Church. That such is the testimony borne by the angels of heaven is plain from the Memorable Relations following the chapters, being Relations of things seen and heard in the spiritual world.
131. (xii) Inasmuch as the Church is from the Lord, marital love also is. I let this go without further argument because it is a consequence from what has been said. Besides, all the angels of heaven bear witness that true marital love is from the Lord, and that that love is according to the state of wisdom, and the state of wisdom according to the state of the Church with them. That the angels of heaven so testify, is evident from Memorabilia after the chapters, which are things that were seen and heard in the spiritual world.
131. (12) And because the Church is from the Lord, conjugial love also is from Him. As this follows from what has been said above, I refrain from further confirmations. Besides, that love truly conjugial is from the Lord all the angels of heaven testify; and also that this love is according to the state of wisdom, and the state of wisdom is according to the state of the church with them. That such is the testimony of the angels of heaven is plain from the Relations after the chapters, which are things seen and heard in the spiritual world.
131. XII: Et quia Ecclesia est a Domino, quod etiam Amor conjugialis sit ab Ipso. Hoc quia est consequens ex supradictis, supersedeo confirmare pluribus. Praeterea, quod Amor vere conjugialis sit a Domino, testantur omnes Angeli Coeli; et quoque quod ille Amor sit secundum statum sapientiae, et status sapientiae secundum statum Ecclesiae apud illos: quod Angeli Coeli testentur illa, patet ex Memorabilibus post Capita, quae sunt visa et audita in Mundo spirituali.
