429、⑸因此，淫乱之爱是婚姻之爱的对立面，正如地狱是天堂的对立面。凡在地狱者皆陷入邪恶与虚假的苟合，凡在天堂者皆处于良善与真理的婚姻；因为如刚才所述（427，428节），邪恶与虚假的苟合就是奸淫，故地狱也是奸淫。正因如此，凡在地狱者皆陷入淫乱之爱的情欲、淫荡和下流，他们逃避婚姻之爱的贞洁和得体，对它们感到不寒而栗（参看425节）。由此可见，这两种爱，就是淫乱之爱和婚姻之爱，彼此对立，正如地狱是天堂的对立面，天堂是地狱的对立面。
429、（5）淫荡之爱与婚姻之爱就象地狱与天国相反一样。一切处于地狱中的人都处于罪恶和谬误之中，一切处于天国中的人都处于善和真理之中。因为恶与谬误的结合产生了通奸的可能（参见427、428），所以地狱处于淫荡之爱中。那里充满贪婪，淫荡，那里的人排斥婚姻之爱中的贞洁。（参见425）
429. (v) Hence scortatory love is the opposite of conjugial love, just as hell is the opposite of heaven.
All in hell are subject to the pairing of evil and falsity, and all in heaven are subject to the marriage of good and truth; and since the pairing of evil and falsity is also adultery (as shown just above in 427-428), it is also hell. Hence it is that all there are subject to the lust, wantonness and indecency of scortatory love; and they run from and shudder at the chastity and decency of conjugial love (425 above). These facts allow it to be seen that these two loves, scortatory and conjugial, are opposites, just as hell is the opposite of heaven and heaven of hell.
429. 5. Thus licentious love is opposed to conjugial love as hell is opposed to heaven. All who are in hell dwell in the connubial alliance of evil and falsity, while all who are in heaven dwell in the marriage of good and truth. And because the connubial alliance of evil and falsity is also a state of adultery, as shown just above (nos. 427, 428), so hell is a state of adultery, too. For that reason, all there are immersed in the lust, lasciviousness, and wantonness of licentious love, and they flee from and abhor the chaste and modest qualities of conjugial love (see above, no. 425).
It can be seen from this that these two loves, licentious love and conjugial love, are opposed to each other as hell is to heaven and heaven to hell.
429. 5. So illicit love is opposite to married love just as hell is opposite to heaven. Everyone in hell is in a "marriage" of evil and falsity, and everyone in heaven is in a marriage of good and truth. And since a "marriage" of evil and falsity is adultery as well (as shown now above, nos. 427-428), it is also hell. This is why everyone there is involved in illicit love's lust, lasciviousness, and shamelessness, and they flee the chaste and modest aspects of marriage and are horrified (see no. 428, above).
These observations show that these two loves - of illicit sex and of marriage - are opposite to each other just as hell is opposite to heaven and heaven is to hell.
429. V. THAT HENCE SCORTATORY LOVE IS THE OPPOSITE TO CONJUGIAL LOVE AS HELL IS THE OPPOSITE TO HEAVEN. All who are in hell are in the connubial connection of evil and falsity, and all who are in heaven are in the marriage of good and truth; and since, as just said (nos. 427, 428), the connubial connection of evil and falsity is adultery, hell also is adultery. Thence it is that all there, are in the lust, lasciviousness, and shamelessness of scortatory love, and flee the chaste and modest things of conjugial love in horror (see above, no. 425). From this it can be seen that these two loves, the scortatory and the conjugial, are opposed to each other as hell is opposed to heaven and heaven to hell.
429. (v) Hence scortatory love is opposite to marital love as hell is to heaven. All in hell are in a mating of evil and falsity, and all in heaven are in the marriage of good and truth. As the mating of evil and falsity is also adultery (as we have shown just above, n. 427-428), hell is adultery, too. Hence all in hell are in the lust, lasciviousness and shamelessness of scortatory love, and flee and abhor the chastities and modesties of marital love (see above,428). Plain it is from this that these two loves, scortatory and marital, are opposite to each other as hell is to heaven and heaven to hell.
429. (5) That scortatory love is therefore, opposite to conjugial love just as hell is opposite to heaven. All who are in hell are in the intermarriage of evil and the false; and all who are in heaven are in the marriage of good and truth. And as the intermarriage of evil and the false is likewise adultery, as has been shown above (n. 427, 428), hell also is adultery. Hence it is that all there are in the lust, the lasciviousness, and the shamelessness of scortatory love, and fly from and shudder at the chastities and modesties of conjugial love (see above n. 428). From these considerations it may be seen that these two loves, scortatory and conjugial love, are opposite to each other as hell is to heaven and heaven to hell.
429. V. Quod inde Amor scortatorius sit oppositus amori conjugiali, sicut infernum est oppositum coelo. Omnes qui in Inferno sunt, in connubio mali et falsi sunt, et omnes qui in Coelo sunt, in conjugio boni et veri sunt; et quia connubium mali et falsi, est quoque adulterium, ut nunc supra, 427, 428, ostensum est, est infernum etiam illud; inde est, quod omnes ibi in libidine, lascivia, 1et impudicitia amoris scortatorii sunt, ac casta et pudica amoris conjugialis fugiant et exhorreant, videatur supra 425. 2Ex his videri potest, quod bini illi amores, scortatorius et conjugialis, sibi oppositi sint, sicut infernum est coelo, ac coelum inferno.
