Life48.我们说，这些真理看上去只属于信仰；但理解力的思维从意愿之爱中获得自己的存在，这爱是理解力中的思维至内在的存在，如前所述（43节）。因为凡人出于爱所意愿的，他都愿意去做，愿意去思考，意愿去理解，愿意去谈论；或也可说，凡人出于意愿所爱的，他都喜欢去做，喜欢去思考，喜欢去理解，喜欢去谈论。此外，当一个人避恶如罪时，他就在主里面，如前所示（18-31节），并且那时主会做一切事。因此，对那些问祂，当行什么才算做神的工之人，主说：
信神所差来的，这就是做神的工。（约翰福音6:28-29）
“信主”是指不仅思想祂存在，还遵行祂的话，如祂在别处（马太福音7:24）所教导的。
48. As just mentioned, these beliefs seem to require faith only. But the thinking in our understanding is a manifestation of the love that belongs to our will; that love is the underlying reality of the thinking in our understanding (see John 6:29). Believing in the Lord is not simply thinking that he exists but is also doing what he says, as he tells us elsewhere [Matthew 7:24].
48. We say that these tenets seem to be matters only of faith, but the thought of the intellect takes its expression from the will’s love, which is the essence of the thought in the intellect, as we said in no. John 6:28-29).
To believe in the Lord is not only to think that He exists, but also to do what He says, as He teaches elsewhere.
48. It was stated that these truths appear to pertain to faith only; but the thought of the understanding derives its existence (existere) from the love of the will, and this love is the being (esse) of the thought in the understanding, as was said above in No. John 6:29.
To believe on the Lord is not only to think that He is, but also to do His words, as He teaches elsewhere.
48. We have said that these things appear to be mere matters of faith. But the thought of the understanding derives its coming into manifest being [trahit suum existere] from the love of the will, which is the inmost being [qui est esse] of the thought in the understanding, as has been said above (n. John 6:28-29).
To "believe in the Lord" is not only to think that He is, but also to do His words, as He teaches elsewhere.
48. Dictum est, quod illa appareant solius fidei esse; sed cogitatio intellectus trahit suum existere ex amore voluntatis, qui est esse cogitationis in intellectu, ut supra (43) dictum est: quod enim quis ex amore vult, hoc vult facere, vult cogitare, vult intelligere, et vult loqui; seu quod idem, quod quis ex voluntate amat, hoc amat facere, amat cogitare, amat intelligere, et amat loqui. Accedit, cum homo fugit malum ut peccatum, tunc ille in Domino est, ut supra ostensum, et Dominus operatur omnia: quare Dominus, ad interrogantes Ipsum quid facerent ut operarentur opera Dei, dixit,
"Hoc opus Dei est, ut credatis in Ipsum quem misit Ille" (Johannes 6:28-29):
"credere in Dominum," non est modo cogitare quod Ipse sit, sed etiam est facere verba Ipsius, ut alibi docet.
