45、这一切都清楚地表明，在天堂里，所有天使被良善联系在一起，并根据良善的品质而被区分。然而，不是天使自己以这种方式联系在一起的，而众善之源的主将他们联系在一起的。主引领他们，在他们中间联合和区分，并保守他们在与其良善相称的自由中，即在他们自己的爱和信仰并聪明和智慧的生命中、及由此而来的幸福中｛注1｝。
｛注1｝：一切自由皆属于爱和情感，因为人所爱的，就是他自由自在地去做的（2870，3158，8987，8990，9585，9591）。因为自由属于爱，所以每个人的生命及快乐由此而来（2873）。没有什么东西看似是人自己的，除非出于他的自由（2880）。真自由就是被主引领，因为那就是被对良善和真理的爱引领（892，905，2872，2886，2890，2891，2892，9096，9586-9591）。

45. 这一切清楚表明, 在天堂, 正是良善将所有天使联系在一起, 他们照良善的品质而被区分. 然而, 不是天使以这种方式将自己联系在一起, 而是良善所来自的主将他们联系在一起. 主引导他们, 在他们之间进行联结和区分, 并将他们维持在与其良善相称的自由中. 主就这样将每个人维持在他自己的爱与信并聪明与智慧的生命, 以及由此而来的幸福中.
注: 一切自由皆属于爱与情感, 因为人所爱的, 就是他自由所行的(天国的奥秘 2870, 3158, 8987, 8990, 9585, 9591节). 自由因属于爱, 故是每个人的生命及其快乐(天国的奥秘 2873节). 除了出于自由的东西外, 没有什么东西看似是人自己的(天国的奥秘 2880节). 真正的自由就是被主引领, 因为被主引领就是被对良善与真理的爱引领(天国的奥秘 892, 905, 2872, 2886, 2890, 2891, 2892, 9096, 9586-9591节).

45. 由此可見, 在天國中, 是善將人們聚集;並照著他們遵行之善的性質不同而彼此區別。並非天人自行聚集, 而是眾善之源的主聚集他們。主引導, 聯合和區分他們, 並照各人行善的程度保守他們在自由當中。這樣, 祂保守每個人都處於他自己的仁與信, 聰明和智慧之中, 因而在快樂之中。
45. We can see from this that the good gathers everyone together in the heavens, and that angels are differentiated by what good they do. Still, it is not the angels who gather themselves, but the Lord, the source of all that is good. He leads them, unites them, differentiates them, and keeps them in freedom to the extent that they are engaged in what is good. So he keeps every individual in the life of his or her own love, faith, intelligence, and wisdom - and therefore in happiness. 1

1. All freedom is a matter of love and attraction, because whatever we love we do freely: 2870, 3158, 8907 [8987?], 8990, 9585, 9591. Since freedom is a matter of love, it is the source of life and joy for every individual: 2873. Nothing seems to be our own unless it comes from freedom: 2880. The very essence of freedom is to be led by the Lord, because in this way we are led by a love for what is good and true: 892, 905, 2872, 2886, 2890-2892, 9096, 9586-9591.

45. All this makes it clear that it is good that associates all in the heavens, and that they are distinguished in accordance with its quality. Yet it is not the angels who themselves associate in this way, but the Lord from Whom the good is. The Lord leads them, conjoins and distinguishes between them, and preserves them in freedom proportionate to their good. Thus He preserves everyone in the life of his own love and faith, of his own intelligence and wisdom and the resulting happiness. 1

1. All freedom is of love and affection, because what a man loves, that he does freely (Arcana Coelestia 2870, 3158, 8987, 8990, 9585, 9591). Since freedom is of the love, it is also the life of every one, and its delight (Arcana Coelestia 2873). Nothing appear, to be a man's own but what is from freedom (Arcana Coelestia 2880). To be led of the Lord is essential liberty, because it is to be led by the love of good and truth (Arcana Coelestia 892, 905, 2872, 2886, 2890-2892, 9096, 9586-9591).

45. All this makes clear that all in the heavens are affiliated by good, and are distinguished according to the quality of the good. Nevertheless it is not the angels who thus affiliate themselves, but the Lord, from whom the good is. The Lord leads them, conjoins and separates them, and preserves them in freedom proportionate to their good. Thus He holds everyone in the life of his love and faith, of his intelligence and wisdom, and the resulting happiness. 1

45. Inde patet, quod bonum consociet omnes in caelis, et quod distinguantur secundum ejus quale: at usque non angeli sunt, qui se ita consociant, sed Dominus a quo bonum Ipse ducit illos, conjungit illos, distinguit illos, et tenet illos in libero quantum in bono ita unumquemvis in vita sui amoris, suae fidei, suae intelligentiae et sapientiae, et inde in felicitate. 1
