Life85.前面（81节）说到，偷盗的邪恶比其它任何邪恶都更深地进入人里面，因为它与诡诈和欺骗结合在一起；而诡诈和欺骗本身甚至潜入人的思维和理解力所在的属灵心智。因此，现在有必要说一说人的心智。人的心智就是合在一起的理解力和意愿（参看43节）。
85. I noted in 81 above that the evil of theft infects us more deeply than some other evils because it is united with guile and trickery, and guile and trickery work their way into our spiritual mind where our thinking with understanding takes place; so now I need to say something about the human mind. On the human mind being our understanding together with our will, see 43 above.
85. In no. 81 above we said that the evil of stealing enters more deeply into a person than any other evil, because it is accompanied by guile and deceit, and guile and deceit insinuate themselves even into a person’s spiritual mind, which is the seat of his thinking with understanding. Therefore we must now say something about the human mind. That the human mind consists of both intellect and will may be seen in no. 43 above.
85. It was said above, No. 81, that the evil of theft enters more deeply into man than any other evil, because it is united with cunning and deceit; and cunning and deceit insinuate themselves even into the spiritual mind of man, which is the seat of thought combined with understanding. Something therefore will now be said concerning the mind of man. That his understanding and will together constitute the mind of man, may be seen above, No. 43.
85. It has been said above (n. 81), that the evil of theft enters more deeply into a man than any other evil because it is conjoined with cunning and deceit, and that cunning and deceit insinuate themselves even into the spiritual mind of man in which is his thought with understanding. Something shall therefore now be said about the mind of man. (That the mind of man is his understanding and will together, see above, n. 43.)
85. Supra (81) dictum est, quod malum furti intret altius apud hominem, quam aliud quoddam malum, quia conjunctum est cum astu et dolo; ac astus et dolus se insinuant usque in spiritualem hominis mentem, in qua est cogitatio ejus cum intellectu. Quare nunc aliquid de Mente hominis dicetur. Quod mens hominis sit intellectus et simul voluntas ejus, videatur supra (43).
