473、因为行为和作为来自意志和思想，故也来自爱和信，因此，它们的性质就是爱和信的性质。因为无论你说人的爱还是说人的意志，都是一回事；说人的信还是说人既定的思想，也都是一回事，因为人所爱的是他所意愿的，人所相信的是他所思想的。当人爱他所相信的事物时，他也会意愿它，并尽可能地行出来。每个人都能知道，爱和信在人的意志和思想内，而非在它们之外，因为意志就是被爱激发的东西，思想就是在信仰的问题上被启迪的东西。因此，只有那些能够明智思考的人才能被启迪，并在其被启迪的程度内，思想真理并意愿真理，或者说，相信真理并热爱真理。｛注1｝
｛注1｝：正如宇宙中按秩序存在的一切事物都与良善和真理有关，人的一切事物都与意志和理智有关于（803，10122）。因为意志是良善的容器，理智是真理的容器（3332，3623，5232，6065，6125，7503，9300，9995）。无论你说真理还是说信仰，意思都一样，因为信仰属于真理，真理属于信仰；无论你说良善还是说爱，意思都一样，因为爱属于良善，良善属于爱（4353，4997，7179，10122，10367）。由此可推知，理智是信的容器，意志是爱的容器（7179，10122，10367）。由于人的理智有能力接受对上帝的信仰，意志有能力接受对上帝的爱，所以人有能力在信仰和爱中与上帝结合。能够在信仰和爱中与上帝结合的人，永远不死（4525，6323，9231）。

473. 行为和作为因来自意愿和思维, 故来自爱和信; 因此, 它们的品质就是其爱与信的品质. 事实上, 无论你说人的爱还是说人的意愿, 都是一回事, 无论你说人的信还是说人既定的思维, 也都是一回事, 因为凡人所爱的, 他都会去意愿; 凡人所信的, 他都会去思考. 当人爱他所信的时, 他也会意愿它, 并尽可能地行出来. 谁都能知道, 爱与信在人的意愿与思维里面, 而非在它们之外, 因为爱点燃意愿, 思维启示信仰. 这意味着只有那些能智慧思考的人才能被启示, 并在其被启示的程度内思考并意愿真理, 或也可说, 相信并热爱真理.
注: 正如宇宙当中照秩序存在的一切事物都可追溯到良善与真理, 人里面的一切事物都可追溯到意愿与理解力(天国的奥秘 803, 10122节). 因为意愿是良善的接受者, 理解力是真理的接受者(天国的奥秘 3332, 3623, 5232, 6065, 6125, 7503, 9300, 9995节). 无论你说真理还是说信仰, 意思都一样, 因为信仰属于真理, 真理属于信仰; 无论你说良善还是说爱, 意思都一样, 因为爱属于良善, 良善属于爱(天国的奥秘 4353, 4997, 7179, 10122, 10367节). 由此可推知, 理解力是信的接受者, 意愿是爱的接受者(天国的奥秘 7179, 10122, 10367节). 由于人的理解力能接受对神之信, 意愿能接受对神之爱, 所以人能通过信和爱与神结合, 凡能通过信和爱与神结合的, 永远不会死(天国的奥秘 4525, 6323, 9231节).

473. 行為既關乎意志和思想, 自然也關乎仁與信, 乃至行為的品質就是仁與信的品質。因為仁與意志相關, 信與思想相關。人皆因仁而志之, 因信而思之。人若因仁而信, 必立志並努力踐行。不難看出, 仁與信寓於意志和思想之中, 而非流於其外。因為仁之所動即為意志, 信之所照即為思想。慎思者可獲啟蒙, 照著受啟程度, 他們思想何為真, 並志於此。
473. Since deeds and works are matters of intention and thought, they are also matters of love and faith to the point that their quality is the quality of their love and faith. That is, it amounts to the same thing whether you talk about our love or about our intentions, whether you talk about our established faith or about our thought, since what we love we also intend, and what we believe we also think. If we love what we believe, we intend it as well and do it to the extent that we can. Anyone can realize that love and faith dwell within our intentions and thought and not outside them, since intent is what is kindled by love and thought is what is enlightened in matters of faith. This means that only people who can think wisely are enlightened; and depending on their enlightenment they think what is true and intend what is true, they believe what is true and love what is true. 1

1. Just as everything in the universe that occurs in an orderly fashion goes back to what is good and true, so everything in us goes back to volition and intellect: 803, 10122. This is because it is our volition that receives what is good and our intellect that receives what is true: 3332, 3623, 5332, 6065, 6125, 7503, 9300, 9930. It amounts to the same thing whether you talk about what is true or faith, since faith is a matter of truth and truth is a matter of faith; and it also amounts to the same thing whether you talk about what is good or love, since love is a matter of what is good, and what is good is a matter of love: 4353, 4997, 7178, 10122, 10367. So it follows that intellect is the recipient of faith and volition the recipient of love: 7178, 10122, 10367; and since our intellect can accept faith in God and our volition love for God, we can be united to God by faith and love; and anyone who can be united to God by faith and love cannot die forever: 4525, 6323, 9231.

473. Because deeds and works are from the will and thought, so are they from the love and faith, consequently, they are such as the love and faith are; for it is the same thing whether you say a man's love or his will, and it is the same thing whether you say a man's faith or his established thought; for that which a man loves he wills, and that which a man believes he thinks. If a man loves what he believes he also wills it and as far as possible does it. Everyone can know that love and faith are within man's willing and thinking, and not outside them, for it is the will that is kindled with love, and the thought that is enlightened in matters of faith; therefore only those who are able to think wisely are enlightened, and in the measure of their enlightenment they think what is true and will it, or what is the same, they believe what is true and love it. 1

1. As all things that exist according to order in the universe have relation to good and truth, so with man all things have relation to will and understanding (Arcana Coelestia 803, 10122).
For the reason that the will is a recipient of good and the understanding a recipient of truth (Arcana Coelestia 3332, 3623, 5232, 6065, 6125, 7503, 9300, 9995).
It amounts to the same whether you say truth or faith, for faith belongs to truth and truth belongs to faith; and it amounts to the same whether you say good or love, for love belongs to good and good belongs to love (Arcana Coelestia 4353, 4997, 7179, 10122, 10367).
From this it follows that the understanding is a recipient of faith, and the will a recipient of love (Arcana Coelestia 7179, 10122, 10367).
And since the understanding of man is capable of receiving faith in God and the will is capable of receiving love to God, man is capable of being conjoined with God in faith and love, and he who is capable of being conjoined with God in love and faith can never die (Arcana Coelestia 4525, 6323, 9231).

473. Quia facta aut opera sunt voluntatis et cogitationis, ideo quoque sunt amoris et fidei proinde talia sunt qualis est amor et fides: nam sive dicas amorem sive voluntatem hominis, idem est et sive dicas fidem et cogitationem certam hominis, etiam idem est; nam quod homo amat, hoc quoque vult, et quod homo credit hoc quoque cogitat: si homo amat quod credit, tunc quoque vult id, et quantum potest facit id. Unusquisque scire potest, quod amor et fides insint hominis voluntati et cogitationi, et quod non sint extra illas, quoniam voluntas est quae incenditur amore, et cogitatio est quae illustratur in rebus fidei; quapropter non nisi quam illi qui sapienter cogitare possunt, illustrantur, ac secundum illustrationem cogitant vera et volunt vera, seu quod idem, credunt vera et amant vera. 1
