154. 天人狀態的變化
"天人狀態的變化,"是指他們關於仁與信的變化, 因而關於智慧與聰明的變化, 也是生活狀態的變化。狀態歸屬於生活及其相關事務等範疇;又因為天人的生活是仁與信的生活, 因而是智慧與聰明的生活, 狀態是這些生活的屬性, 所以, 我們將談論的是仁與信的狀態, 智慧與聰明的狀態。下面我要描述一下天人在這些狀態上是如何變化的。
154. How the States of Angels in Heaven Change
By "the changes of angels' states," we mean their changes in regard to love and faith and therefore in regard to wisdom and intelligence - to the state of their life, that is. States are attributes of life and of matters that pertain to life; and since angelic life is a life of love and faith and thereby of wisdom and intelligence, states are attributes of these, and we talk about states of love and faith and states of wisdom and intelligence. Now we need to describe how these states change for angels.

154. CHANGES OF STATE OF THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN
By changes of state of the angels are meant their changes as to love and faith, and wisdom and intelligence therefrom, thus their changes as to states of life. States are predicated of life and of the things that are of life; and as angelic life is a life of love and faith, and of wisdom and intelligence therefrom, so states are predicated of these and are called states of love and faith, and states of wisdom and intelligence. How these states with the angels are changed will now be told.

154. [XVII.] DE MUTATIONIBUS STATUS ANGELORUM IN CAELO.
Per mutationes status angelorum intelliguntur mutationes eorum quoad amorem et fidem, et inde sapientiam et intelligentiam ita quoad status vitae eorum. Status dicuntur de vita, et de illis quae vitae sunt; et quia vita angelica est vita amoris et fidei, et inde sapientiae et intelligentiae, ideo status de illis dicuntur, et vocantur status amoris et fidei, ac status sapientiae et intelligentiae. Quomodo hi status apud angelos mutantur, hic nunc dicetur.
