11、合乎神性秩序的宇宙万物都与良善和真理有关。天上的一切和地上的一切,无不与这两者有关。原因在于,良善和真理两者都从神性发出,而神性是一切事物的源头。
11、遵循神圣法则的宇宙一切事物都与良善和真理有关。离开这两者,天堂和人间将什么也没有。理由是良善和真理从神而来,一切事物从神而来。
11. Goodness and Truth
All things in the universe that are in accord with the divine design 1go back to goodness and truth. There are no exceptions to this in heaven or in the world, because everything good, like everything true, comes from the Divine, which is the source of everything.
Footnotes:
1. The phrase "the divine design" (the Latin term used here is Divinus ordo, literally, "divine order") refers to a divinely ordained arrangement of things in relation to each other both in physical space (or spiritual state) and in physical time (or spiritual sequence). On humans as images of the divine design, see note 4 in Last Judgment 9. On the similar phrase "the design of heaven," see note 1 in Other Planets 51. [JSR]

Chapter 1. Goodness and Truth
Everything in the universe that is in harmony with the divine plan relates to goodness and truth. Goodness and truth come from the divine, which is the source of everything. This means there cannot be anything in heaven or on earth that does not relate to these two things.
11. I. ON GOOD AND TRUTH
All things in the universe, which are in accordance with God's order, have reference to good and truth. Nothing exists in heaven, and nothing on earth, which does not have reference to these two. The reason is that both, good as well as truth, proceed from the Deity who is the source of all things.

11. (I.) DE BONO ET VERO.
OMNIA in universo, quae sunt secundum Divinum ordinem, se referunt ad bonum et verum; nihil datur in caelo, et nihil in mundo, quod non ad duo illa se refert: causa est, quia utrumque, tam bonum quam verum, procedit a Divino, a quo omnia.
