24、⑷出于良善处于真理的人；以及来自良善的真理的性质。通向良善的真理和来自良善的真理之间的区别（2063节）。真理本质上不是真理，除非它来自良善（4736，10619节），因为真理从良善拥有其存在（3049，3180，4574，5002，9144节），和生命（3111，2434，6077节）。还因为真理是良善的形式或品质（3049，4574，5951，9154节）。人所拥有的真理与人所拥有的良善直接相关；两者在他里面的量和质是一样的（2429节）。为叫真理能成为真理，它必须从仁爱与纯真的良善中获得它的本质（3111，6013节）。来自良善的真理是属灵的真理（5951节）。
来自良善的真理能与良善完全构成一体，以至于两者一起成为一个良善（4301，7835，10252，10266节）。当理解力从意愿发出时，理解力与意愿构成一个心智和一个生命，因为理解力是真理的接受者，意愿是良善的接受者；但当人所思所说的，与他所意愿的不一致时，这种一体不会发生（3623节）。来自良善的真理是意愿和行为中的真理（4337，4353，4385，4390节）。当真理来自良善时，这良善便在真理中拥有自己的形像（3180节）。
在整个天堂和整个世界，在它们的每个细节里面都有一个婚姻的形像（54，718，747，917，1432，2173，2516，5194节）；尤其在真理和良善之间（1904，2173，2508节）。因为宇宙万物都与真理和良善有关，以便它们能成为某种事物；并且与它们的结合有关，以便能产生任何事物（2451，3166，4390，4409，5232，7256，10122，10555）。古人还建立了真理与良善之间的婚姻（1904节）。婚姻的律法是，两个人要合而为一，正如主所说的（10130，10168，10169节）。真正的婚姻之爱出于天堂、从真理与良善的婚姻降下并存在（2728，2729节）。
人越专注于良善，并由此专注于真理，就越有智慧；然而，如果他不专注良善，智慧就不会是他的，无论他知道多少真理（3182，3190，4884节）。人若处于来自良善的真理，就会实际从尘世之光被提升到天堂之光，因而从模糊被提升到清晰；而另一方面，只要他知道真理，却未处于良善，就仍在尘世之光和模糊当中（3190，3191节）。人在处于并实行良善之前，甚至不知道何为良善（3325，3330，3336节）。当真理来自良善时，它们会跨越式地飞速增长（2846，2847，5345节）。关于这种增长的详情（5355节）。这种增长如同一棵树结出果实，种子繁殖增多，以至于产生整个花园（1873，2846，2847节）。智慧也增长到同等程度，并且这种增长会持续到永远（3200，4220，4221，5527，5859，6663节）。不仅如此，人还在同等程度上从良善获得真理，在同等程度上被光照，并在同等程度上在阅读圣言时处于光照（9382，10548，10549，10550，10691，10694节）。爱之良善如同火，由此而来的真理如同那火发出的光（3195，3222，5400，8644，9399，9548，9684节）。事实上，在天堂，真理从良善发光（5219节）。来自良善的真理，也就是智慧的基础，照着对良善的爱的质和量而增长；另一方面，来自邪恶的虚假，则照着对邪恶的爱的质和量而增长（4099节）。人若处于来自良善的真理，就会进入天使的聪明和智慧；只要他还活在这个世界上，这些就隐藏在他里面，但在来世会打开（2494节）。人若处于来自良善的真理，死后就会成为一位天使（8747节）。
来自良善的真理就像世世代代（9079节）。它们按顺序排列（5339，5343，5530，7408，10303节）。对来自良善的真理的排列好比人体内的纤维和血管，因而好比它们服务生命的有用功能的复杂组织和结构（3470，3570，3579，9454节）。来自良善的真理可以说形成一座城，这是由于天堂的流注（3584节）。属于主导爱的真理在中心，其余的根据它们不一致的程度或多或少地远离这个中心（3993，4551，4552，5530，6028节）。对恶人来说，虚假则在中心（4551，4552节）。当真理从良善发出时，它们按天堂的形式排列（4302，5339，5343，5704，6028，10303节）。这符合天使社群的排列秩序或模式（10303节）。一切真理，当从良善发出时，通过一种亲密关系而彼此结合，它们就像出身于同一个祖先的家族分支（2863节）。一切真理照着它所来自的良善的质和量而拥有延伸到天堂的气场（8063节）。对人来说，良善与真理的婚姻就是教会和天堂（2731，7752，7753，9224，9995，10122节）。那些其真理拥有良善在里面的人所感受到的快乐和幸福（1470节）。当真理被良善聚集在一起时，它们呈现出一个人的形像（8370节）。人无非是他自己的良善和真理，或邪恶和虚假（10298节）。
总结：人通过真理而拥有信（4353，7178，10367节）。人通过真理而拥有对邻之仁（4368，7623，7624，8034节）。人通过真理而拥有对主的爱（10143，10153，10310，10578，10645节）。人通过真理而拥有良心（1077，2053，9113节）。人通过真理而拥有纯真（3183，3494，6013节）。人通过真理而从邪恶中洁净（2799，5954，7044，7918，9088，10229，10237节）。人通过真理而重生（1555，1904，2046，2189，9088，9959，10028节）。人通过真理而拥有聪明和智慧（3182，3190，3387，10064节）。天使，以及就内层，即灵而言的世人，其美丽通过真理而来（553，3080，4985，5199节）。人通过真理而获得对抗邪恶和虚假的能力（3091，4015，10488节）。诸如存在于天堂中的那种秩序通过真理而来（3316，3417，3570，5339，5343，5704，6028，10303节）。教会通过真理而来（1798，1799，3963，4468，4672节）。与人同在的天堂通过真理而来（1900，9832，9931，10303节）。人通过真理而成为人（3175，3387，8370，10298节）。然而，这一切都通过来自良善的真理，而不是通过没有良善的真理而实现；良善来自主（2434，4070，4736，5147节）。一切良善皆来自主（1614，2016，2904，4151，9981节）。
24、[4].关于通过良善而拥有真理的人，进而关于来自良善的真理。引起良善的真理和来自良善的真理之间的区别（2063）。在本质上，真理不是真理，除非它来自良善（4736，10619）。因为真理从良善获得它的实在（3049，3180，4574，5002，9144），及它的生命（2434，3111，6077）。因为真理是良善的形式或性质（3049，4574，5951，9154）。整体上看，人的真理和良善是相似的，有着相同的比例和程度（2429）。为了使真理可以是真理，必须从爱和纯真的良善获得它的实在（3111，6013）。来自良善的真理是属灵的真理（5951）。
当真理出自良善时，真理和良善是合一的，以至于合为一种良善（4301，4337，7835，10252，10266）。当认知来自意志（意愿）时，认知和意志合为一种意向和生命，因为认知是真理的容器，意志是良善的容器，除非一个人的思考和说话不是出自他的意志（3623）。来自良善的真理是意志和行动的真理（4337，4353，4385，4390）。当真理出自良善，良善在真理中获得它的形象（3180）。
整个天堂和人间及其中的单一事物都有婚姻的形象（54，718，747，917，1432，2173，2516，5194）。尤其是真理和良善之间（1904，2173，2508）。宇宙一切事物与良善和真理有关是为了成为某物，它们的结合是为了生成某物（2452，3166，4390，4409，5232，7256，10122，10555）。古人也得出了真理与良善的婚姻观点（1904）。根据主的圣言，婚姻的戒律是合二为一（10130，10168，10169）。真正的婚姻之爱来自天堂的良善与真理的婚姻，降临并存在于天堂之外（2728，2729）。
只要处在良善并因此处在真理中，人就是明智的，但是只要他知道真理但不在良善中，他就不是明智的（3182，3190，4884）。一个人因良善而在真理之中，实际上是从物界（物质世界）的光提升至天堂的光中，从而从模糊进入清晰。但是，相反，只要他是知道真理但不在良善中，他就在物界之光中，处在晦暗不明中（3190，3192）。处在良善中并从良善而知（另一个版本是acts from it）之前，人不知道良善是什么（3325，3330，3336）。当真理来自良善，真理会极大地增多（2846，2847，5345）。关于这种增多（5355）。
这种增多就像是：一颗树上的果实，因种子而使果实倍增，进而出现整个果园（1873，2846，2847）。智慧增加的程度与之一致，像这样直到永远（3200，3314，4220，4221，5527，5859，10303）。通过良善而在真理中的人也是以相同程度被教化，当他阅读圣言（《圣经》）时，他也如此被教化（9382，10548-10550，10691，10694）。爱的良善就像是火，从此而来的真理就像这种火发出的光（3195，3222，5400，8644，9399，9548，9684）。在天堂，良善的真理会发光（5219）。
智慧从其而来的良善的真理，根据良善的爱的性质和数量而增加。相反，邪恶的谬误，根据邪恶的爱的性质和数量而增加（4099）。处在来自良善的真理之中的人得到天使的智力和智慧，只要他生活在世界上，它们隐藏在他的内在，但是，他在另一个世界时，它们会被打开（2494）。处在良善的真理之中的人，死后变成天使（8747）。
来自良善的真理的情况就像世代（9079）。它们按照顺序被安排（5339，5343，5530，7408，10303，10308）。根据生命的用途，良善真理的安排类似于身体的纤维和血管的结构，以及由它们组成的组织和器官 （3470，3570，3579，9154）。良善的真理构成一个社会（另一版是community）的模式，这出自天堂的流注（3584）。为首的爱的真理位于中央；其余的，根据它们的差异程度，距离那里或远或近（3993，4551，4552，5530，6028）。邪恶的是对立相反（4551，4552）。
来自良善的真理被安排为天堂的形式（4302，4904，5339，5343，5704，6028，10303）。实际上（indeed来自另一个版本）依照天使社区的秩序（10303）。所有真理，当它们来自良善时，它们以某种亲密关系彼此联合。他们像是源自一个父亲的众家庭的成员（they are circumstanced like families derived from ono.father）（2863）。在天堂中，根据真理从其而来的良善的特性和数量，所有的真理都占据一个球面范围（8063）。
良善与真理的婚姻就是人的教会和天堂（2731，7752，7753，9224，9995，10122）。与真理中的良善相伴的那些高兴和快乐（1470）。结合在一起的真理和良善呈现为人的形象（8370）。人只是他自己的良善，真理从那里而来；人只是他自己的邪恶，谬误从那里而来（10298）。
总结：凭借真理才有信仰（4353，4997，7178，10367）。凭借真理才有对邻舍的爱（4368，7623，7624，8034）。凭借真理才有对上帝的爱（10143，10153，10310，10578，10645）。凭借真理才有道德心（1077，2053，9113）。凭借真理才有纯真（3183，3494，6013）。凭借真理才能洗涤邪恶（2799，5954，7044，7918，9088，10229，10237）。凭借真理才是重生（1555，1904，2046，2189，9088，9959，10028）。凭借真理，天使和人的内在即灵魂的美丽才会呈现（553，3080，4985，5199）。凭借真理才有对抗邪恶和谬误的力量（3091，4015，10488）。凭借真理才有秩序，比如天堂的秩序（3316，3417，3570，4104，5339，5343，6028，10303）。凭借真理才有教会（1798，1799，3963，4468，4672）。凭借真理，人类才有天堂（3690，9832，9931，10303）。凭借真理，人才能成为人（3175，3387，8370，10298）。然而，所有这些事物都是凭借来自良善的真理，而不是凭借无良善的真理。良善来自上帝（2434，4070，4736，5147）。一切良善都是来自上帝（1614，2016，2904，4151，9981）。
24. 4. People who live lives based on truth and have good intent; and also the nature of truths that come from what is good. Truth that leads to what is good and truth that comes from what is good, and how they differ: 2063. Truth is not true in essence except to the extent that it comes from something good (4736, 10619), because it is from goodness that truth gets its underlying reality (3049, 3180, 4574, 5002, 9144) and its life (3111, 2434, 6077). This is also because truth is the form or outward nature of goodness: 3049, 4574, 5951, 9154. The truth we have relates directly to the goodness we have; the amount and quality of both in us are the same: 2429. For anything true to be true, it must get its essence from our leading a life of caring and innocence: 3111, 6013. The truths that come from leading a good life are spiritual truths: 5951.
[2] Truth that comes from goodness is able to unite itself to goodness so thoroughly that the two become one: 4301, 7835, 10252, 10266. Our understanding and will make one mind and one life when our understanding is subordinate to our will, because our understanding is the part of us that is receptive to truth and our will is the part of us that is receptive to goodness; but this oneness does not occur when what we think and say is at variance with what we intend: 3623. Truth that comes from goodness is truth that lives in our will and in our actions: 4337, 4353, 4385, 4390. When truth comes from goodness, an image of that goodness remains present in that truth: 3180.
[3] Throughout the entire heaven and the entire world and in their every detail, there is some form of a marriage (54, 718, 747, 917, 1432, 2173, 2516, 5194); especially between what is true and what is good (1094, 2173, 2508). This is because everything in the universe, in order to be anything at all, must go back to what is good and what is true; and in order to accomplish anything, must be the result of their being joined together: 2451, 3166, 4390, 4409, 5232, 7256, 10122, 10555. The ancients established [a custom of referring to] truth and goodness as partners in a marriage 1: 1904. According to the Lord's words, the law of marriage is that two should become one: 10130, 10168, 10169. True marriage love comes down from heaven from the marriage of what is true and what is good and becomes manifest: 2728, 2729.
[4] The more we are focused on goodness and on the truths that result from it, the wiser we are; no matter how much truth we know, however, if we are not focused on leading a good life wisdom will not be ours: 3182, 3190, 4884. When we have the truths that come from leading a good life, we are actually lifted out of this world's light into heaven's light 2-out of dimness, then, into clarity. On the other hand, as long as we only know about truths but are not practicing any goodness, we remain in this world's light and in dimness: 3190, 3191. We do not even know what goodness is until we are practicing it and learning from it: 3325, 3330, 3336. Truths grow by leaps and bounds when they come from leading a good life: 2846, 2847, 5345. More on this growth: 5355. This growth happens the way trees bear fruit and seeds multiply to make whole gardens: 1873, 2846, 2847. Wisdom grows to the same extent as well, and this goes on forever: 3200, 4220, 4221, 5527, 5859, 6663. Not only that, to the extent that we have gained truths from leading a good life, to that extent we are enlightened, and to that extent we experience enlightenment when we read the Word: 9382, 10548, 10549, 10550, 10691, 10694. Good actions that we do out of love are like fire, and the insights into truth that result are like light from that fire: 3195, 3222, 5400, 8644, 9399, 9548, 9684. In fact, the truths we learn from living a good life actually do shine in heaven: 5219. The truths we learn from leading a good life, which are the basis of wisdom, increase in proportion to the quality and amount of our love for doing good, and conversely falsities that we absorb from leading an evil life are proportional to the quality and amount of our love for doing evil: 4099. When we are given truths through leading a good life, we come into angelic intelligence and wisdom. These lie hidden within us as long as we are living in this world, but they are opened up for us in the other life: 2494. People who have truths from leading a good life become angels after they die: 8747.
[5] Truths that arise from goodness come in something like successive generations: 9079. They are arranged in sequences: 5339, 5343, 5530, 7408, 10303. The arrangement of truths that arise from goodness is like that of the fibers and blood vessels in our bodies and the complex tissues and structures they form to serve the useful functions of life: 3470, 3570, 3579, 9454. Truths that arise from goodness take the form of a kind of city within us, and this is caused by an inflow from heaven: 3584. At the center are the truths that accompany our primary love, while other concepts are distanced from that center to the extent that they fail to harmonize with [the central truths]: 3993, 4551, 4552, 5530, 6028. For evil people, though, falsity is at the center: 4551, 4552. When the truths we have are a result of our leading a good life, they are arranged in heaven's form (4302, 5339, 5343, 5704, 6028, 10303); and this agrees with the pattern in which heavenly communities are arranged (10303). All truths that result from leading a good life are connected to each other by a kind of kinship, like the branches of families descended from the same ancestor: 2863. Everything true also has an aura 3reaching out from it into heaven according to the nature and extent of the goodness that is its source: 8063. The marriage of what is good and what is true is the church and heaven for us: 2731, 7752, 7753, 9224, 9995, 10122. The pleasure and happiness felt by people whose truths have goodness inside them: 1470.
[6] When our truths are brought together by goodness, they present an image of us: 8370. As individuals, we are nothing more nor less than our goodness and truth, or our evil and falsity: 10298.
[7] To summarize, we come to faith through truths: 4353, 7178, 10367. We come to caring about our neighbor through truths: 4368, 7623, 7624, 8034. We come to love for the Lord through truths: 10143, 10153, 10310, 10578, 10645. We come to conscience through truths: 1077, 2053, 9113. We come to innocence through truths: 3183, 3494, 6013. We come to purification from evils through truths: 2799, 5954, 7044, 7918, 9088, 10229, 10237. We come to regeneration through truths: 1555, 1904, 2046, 2189, 9088, 9959, 10028. We come to intelligence and wisdom through truths: 3182, 3190, 3387, 10064. Truths beautify angels and therefore also beautify us at the deeper levels of our spirit: 553, 3080, 4985, 5199. We gain power against things that are evil and false through truths: 3091, 4015, 10488. Truths are means of bringing [inner things] into the kind of order that is characteristic of heaven: 3316, 3417, 3570, 5339, 5343, 5704, 6028, 10303. We come to the church through truths: 1798, 1799, 3963, 4468, 4672. We come to heaven through truths: 1900, 9832, 9931, 10303. We become human through truths: 3175, 3387, 8370, 10298. All these things come about, though, by means of truths that arise from goodness and not from truths apart from goodness; and goodness comes from the Lord: 2434, 4070, 4736, 5147. All that is good comes from the Lord: 1614, 2016, 2904, 4151, 9981.
Footnotes:
1. The Latin here translated “established [a custom of referring to]” is instituerint, whose most concrete meaning would be “set up.” It is used of establishing ritual practices in Secrets of Heaven 8153 and Heaven and Hell 287[3], and of establishing a church in The Lord 61. It here seems to suggest that the early people adopted a practice of conceptually or verbally linking truth and goodness on the model of a union in marriage. [GFD]
2. The nature of heaven's light, as Swedenborg explains it, is that it reveals the underlying nature of the thing or person seen (see Secrets of Heaven 4674[2-3]; Heaven and Hell 131; Marriage Love 269[3]; True Christianity 281[12], 462:11). Swedenborg reports seeing people's inner natures represented in the light of heaven as human beings (Secrets of Heaven 6626; Revelation Unveiled 341[2]); animals ( Revelation Explained [= Swedenborg 1994-1997a] 1005:3); birds ( True Christianity 42, 334:8); monstrous, mythological, or biblical creatures (see Divine Love and Wisdom 254; Marriage Love 521; True Christianity 388, 389:7); or lifeless objects (see Divine Providence 226; True Christianity 31: 4, 110[8], 113[4]). For a striking example of the revealing power of heaven's light, see Revelation Unveiled 926. For further references on heaven's light, see note 2 in Last Judgment 38. For the contrasting term, "this world's light," see note 2 in New Jerusalem 37. [JSR, GFD]
3. The Latin word here translated "aura" is sphaera. It is often used by Swedenborg to indicate a "sphere" of influence or a "field" surrounding an individual or even an inanimate object. For more on spiritual auras and their various effects, see Secrets of Heaven 1048, 1316:2, 1383-1400, 1504-1520, 4464:2-3, 5179, 5725, 7454, 8794, 9109-9110, 10130; Marriage Love 171; Revelation Explained (= Swedenborg 1994-1997a) 865:1.

24. Concerning those who are in truths from good, thus concerning truths from good. What difference there is between the truth which leads to good, and the truth which proceeds from good, Arcana Coelestia 2063. Truth essentially is not truth, except so far as it proceeds from good, Arcana Coelestia 4736, 10619; because truth has its Esse from good, Arcana Coelestia 3049, 3180, 4574, 5002, 9144; and its life, Arcana Coelestia 3111, 2434, 6077; and because truth is the form, that is, the quality of good, Arcana Coelestia 3049, 4574, 5951, 9154. Truth with man is altogether as good, in a like ratio and in a like degree, Arcana Coelestia 2429. In order that truth may be truth, it must derive its essence from the good of charity and innocence, Arcana Coelestia 3111, 6013. The truths which are from good are spiritual truths, Arcana Coelestia 5951.
When truth proceeds from good, it makes one with it to such a degree that both together are one good, Arcana Coelestia 4301, 7835, 10252, 10266. The understanding and will make one mind and one life, when the understanding proceeds from the will, because the understanding is the recipient of truth, and the will, of good; but not when a man thinks and speaks otherwise than he wills, Arcana Coelestia 3623. Truth from good is truth in will and act, Arcana Coelestia 4337, 4353, 4385, 4390. When truth proceeds from good, good has its image in truth, Arcana Coelestia 3180.
In the whole heaven and in the whole world, and in each single thing thereof, there is an image of marriage, Arcana Coelestia 54, 718, 747, 917, 1432, 2173, 2516, 5194. Especially between truth and good, Arcana Coelestia 1904, 2173, 2508. Because all things in the universe have, relation to truth and good, in order to be anything, and to their conjunction, in order that anything may be produced, Arcana Coelestia 2452, 3166, 4390, 4409, 5232, 7256, 10122, 10555. The Ancients also instituted a marriage between truth and good, Arcana Coelestia 1904. The law of marriage is that, according to the Lord's words, two shall be one, Arcana Coelestia 10130, 10168, 10169. Love truly conjugial descends and exists also out of heaven, from the marriage of truth and a good, Arcana Coelestia 2728, 2729.
A man is wise so far as he is in good, and from good in truths, but not so far is he is acquainted with truths and is not in good, Arcana Coelestia 3182, 3190, 4884. A man who is in truths from good, is actually raised out of the light of the world into the light of heaven, and thus out of obscurity into clearness; but conversely he is in the light of the world, and in obscurity so long as he is acquainted with truths and is not in good, Arcana Coelestia 3190, 3192. Again, a man does not know what good is, before he is in it and [acts] from it, Arcana Coelestia 3325, 3330, 3336. Truths increase immensely when they proceed from good, Arcana Coelestia 2846, 2847, 5345. Concerning this increase, Arcana Coelestia 5355. This increase is like the production of fruit from a tree, and multiplication from seeds, from which arise whole gardens, Arcana Coelestia 1873, 2846, 2847. In the same, proportion also wisdom increases, and indeed to eternity, Arcana Coelestia 3200, 10314, 4220, 4221, 5527, 5859, 6663. The man also who is in truths from good is enlightened in the same proportion, and is thus in enlightenment while reading the Word, Arcana Coelestia 9382, 10548, 10549, 10550, 10691, 10694. The good of love is as fire, and the truth from it as the light from that fire, Arcana Coelestia 3195, 3222, 5400, 8644, 9399, 9548, 9684. Truths from good also shine in heaven, Arcana Coelestia 5219. Truths from good, through which wisdom comes, increase according to the quality and quantity of the love of good: and conversely, falsities from evil increase according to the quality and quantity of the love of evil, Arcana Coelestia 4099. The man who is in truths from good comes into angelic intelligence and wisdom, and these are hidden away in his interiors so long as he lives in the world, but are laid open in the other life, Arcana Coelestia 2494. The man who is in truths from good becomes all angel after death, Arcana Coelestia 8747.
Truths from good are circumstanced like generations, Arcana Coelestia 9079. They are arranged in series, Arcana Coelestia 5339, 5343, 5530, 7408, 10303, 10308. The orderly arrangement of truths from good compared with the fibres and blood-vessels in the body; and thus with the tissues and forms, according to the uses of life, Arcana Coelestia 3470, 3570, 3579, 9154. Truths from good form as it were a community, and indeed from the influx of heaven, Arcana Coelestia 3584. Those truths are in the middle which belong to the chief love; and the rest are distant therefrom, according to the degrees of their non-agreement, Arcana Coelestia 3993, 4551, 4552, 5530, 6028. The opposite order prevails with the wicked, Arcana Coelestia 4551, 4552. When truths proceed from good, they are arranged in the form of heaven, Arcana Coelestia 4302, 5339, 5343, 5704, 6028, 10303; and indeed according to the order in which the angelic societies are, Arcana Coelestia 10303. All truths when proceeding from good are conjoined with one another by a certain affinity; and they are circumstanced like families derived from one father, Arcana Coelestia 2863. Every truth also has a sphere extending into heaven, according to the quality and quantity of the good from which it is, Arcana Coelestia 8063.
The marriage of good and truth is the Church and Heaven with man, Arcana Coelestia 2173, 7752, 7753, 9224, 9995, 10122. The delight and happiness of those with whom there is good in truths, Arcana Coelestia 1470.
Truths from good, when conjoined, exhibit an image of man, Arcana Coelestia 8370. A man is nothing else than his own good, and the truth from it; or evil, and the false from it; Arcana Coelestia 10298.
A summary: Through truths there is faith, Arcana Coelestia 4353, 4997, 7178, 10367. Through truths there is charity towards the neighbour, Arcana Coelestia 4368, 7623, 7624, 8034. Through truths there is love to the Lord, Arcana Coelestia 10143, 10153, 10310, 10578, 10645. Through truths there is conscience, Arcana Coelestia 1077, 2053, 9113. Through truths there is innocence, Arcana Coelestia 3183, 3494, 6013. Through truths there is purification from evils, Arcana Coelestia 2799, 5954, 7044, 7918, 9089, 10229, 10237. Through truths is regeneration, Arcana Coelestia 1555, 1904, 2046, 2189, 9088, 9959, 10028. Through truths come intelligence and wisdom, Arcana Coelestia 3182, 3190, 3387, 10064. The beauty of angels, and also of men, as to the interiors belonging to their spirits, arises through truths, Arcana Coelestia 553, 3080, 4985, 5199. Through truths there is power against evils and falsities, Arcana Coelestia 3091, 4015, 10481. Order, such as is in heaven, is through truths, Arcana Coelestia 3316, 3417, 3570, 5339, 5343, 5704, 6028, 10303. The Church is through truths, Arcana Coelestia 1798, 1799, 3963, 4468, 4672. Through truths man has heaven, Arcana Coelestia 1900, 9832, 9931, 10303. Through truths a man becomes a man, Arcana Coelestia 3175, 3387, 8370, 10298. Still all these arise through truths from good, and not through truths apart from good; and good is from the Lord, Arcana Coelestia 2434, 4070, 4736, 5147. All good is from the Lord, Arcana Coelestia 1614, 2016, 2904, 4151, 9981.
24. [4]. Of those who are in truths from good, consequently of truths from good.
Of the difference between truth that leads to good, and truth which proceeds from good (n. 2063). Truth is not essentially truth, any further than as it proceeds from good (n. 4736, 10619); because truth has its esse from good (n. 3049, 3180, 4574, 5002, 9144); and its life (n. 2434, 3111, 6077); and because truth is the form or quality of good (n. 3049, 4574, 5951, 9154). Truth is altogether as good with man, in the same ratio and degree (n. 2429). In order that truth may be truth, it must derive its essence from the good of charity and innocence (n. 3111, 6013). The truths which are from good are spiritual truths (n. 5951).
Truth makes one with good when it proceeds from good, even so that both together are one good (n. 4301, 4337, 7835, 10252, 10266). The understanding and will make one mind and one life, when the understanding proceeds from the will, because the understanding is the recipient of truth, and the will, of good, but not when man thinks and speaks otherwise than he wills (n. 3623). Truth from good is truth in will and act (n. 4337, 4353, 4385, 4390). When truth proceeds from good, good has its image in truth (n. 3180).
In the whole heaven and world, and in the single things thereof, there is an image of marriage (n. 54, 718, 747, 917, 1432, 2173, 2516, 5194). Particularly between truth and good (n. 1904, 2173, 2508). Because all things in the universe have relation to truth and good, in order that they may be anything, and to their conjunction, in order that anything may be produced (n. 2452, 3166, 4390, 4409, 5232, 7256, 10122, 10555). The ancients also instituted a marriage between truth and good (n. 1904). The law of marriage is, that two be one, according to the words of the Lord (n. 10130, 10168, 10169). Love truly conjugial descends and exists from heaven, from the marriage of truth and good (n. 2728, 2729).
Man is so far wise, as he is in good and thence in truths, but not so far as he knows truths and is not in good (n. 3182, 3190, 4884). The man who is in truths from good, is actually elevated from the light of the world into the light of heaven, consequently from what is obscure into what is clear; but on the other hand, he is in the light of the world, and what is obscure, so long as he knows truths and is not in good (n. 3190, 3192). Man does not know what good is, before he is in it, and knows from it (n. 3325, 3330, 3336). Truths increase immensely when they proceed from good (n. 2846, 2847, 5345). Of which increase (n. 5355). This increase is as fructification from a tree, and multiplication from seeds from which whole gardens are produced (n. 1873, 2846, 2847). Wisdom increases in a like degree, and this to eternity (n. 3200, 3314, 4220, 4221, 5527, 5859, 10303). The man also who is in truths from good is in a like degree enlightened, and he is so far in enlightenment when he reads the Word (n. 9382, 10548-10550, 10691, 10694). The good of love is as fire, and truth thence as light from that fire (n. 3195, 3222, 5400, 8644, 9399,9548, 9684). In heaven truths from good shine (n. 5219). Truths from good, by which is wisdom, increase according to the quality and quantity of the love of good; and on the other hand, falsities from evil, according to the quality and quantity of the love of evil (n. 4099). The man who is in truths from good comes into angelic intelligence and wisdom, and they lie hid in his interiors so long as he lives in the world, but they are opened in the other life (n. 2494). The man, who is in truths from good, becomes an angel after death (n. 8747).
Truths from good are like generations (n. 9079). They are disposed in series (n. 5339, 5343, 5530, 7408, 10303, 10308). The arrangement of truths from good compared with the fibers and blood-vessels in the body; and thence with their textures and forms, according to the uses of life (n. 3470, 3570, 3579, 9154). Truths from good form as it were a city, and this from the influx of heaven (n. 3584). The truths which are of the principal love are in the midst; and the rest are more or less remote from thence according to their degrees of disagreement (n. 3993, 4551, 4552, 5530, 6028). Conversely with the evil (n. 4551, 4552).
Truths when they proceed from good are arranged in the form of heaven (n. 4302, 4904, 5339, 5343, 5704, 6028, 10303). And this according to the order in which are the angelic societies (n. 10303). All truths when they proceed from good are conjoined to one another by a certain affinity, and they are as derivations of families from one father (n. 2863). All truth has a sphere of extension into heaven, according to the quality and quantity of the good from which it is (n. 8063).
The marriage of good and truth is the church and heaven with man (n. 2731, 7752, 7753, 9224, 9995, 10122). Of the delight and happiness of those with whom good is in truths (n. 1470). Truths from good, in conjunction, present an image of man (n. 8370). Man is nothing but his own good, and truth thence derived; or evil, and falsity thence derived (n. 10298).
A summary: Faith is by truths (n. 4353, 4997, 7178, 10367). Charity towards the neighbor is by truths (n. 4368, 7623, 7624, 8034). Love to the Lord is by truths (n. 10143, 10153, , 1031010578, 10645). Conscience is by truths (n. 1077, 2053, 9113). Innocence is by truths (n. 3183, 3494, 6013). Purification from evils is by truths (n. 2799, 5954, 7044, 7918, 9088, 10229, 10237). Regeneration is by truths (n. 1555, 1904, 2046, 2189, 9088, 9959, 10028). Intelligence and wisdom are by truths (n. 3182, 3190, 3387, 10064). The beauty of angels, and also of men, as to the interiors which are their spirits, is by truths (n. 553, 3080, 4985, 5199). Power against evils and falsities is by truths (n. 3091, 4015, 10488). Order, such as it is in heaven, is by truths (n. 3316, 3417, 3570, 4104, 5339, 5343, 6028, 10303). The church is by truths (n. 1798, 1799, 3963, 4468, 4672). Heaven is with man by truths (n. 3690, 9832, 9931, 10303). Man becomes man by truths (n. 3175, 3387, 8370, 10298). Nevertheless all these things are by truths from good, and not by truths without good; and good is from the Lord (n. 2434, 4070, 4736, 5147). All good is from the Lord (n. 1614, 2016, 2904, 4151, 9981).
24. (4.) De illis qui in veris sunt ex bono; ita de veris ex bono.
Verum quod ducit ad bonum, et quod procedit ex bono, quae differentia (Arcana Coelestia 1063, [2063?],).
Quod verum non sit verum essentialiter nisi quantum a bono procedit (Arcana Coelestia 4736, 10619); quoniam verum habet suum esse a bono (Arcana Coelestia 3049, 3180, 4574, 5002, 9144): et suam vitam (Arcana Coelestia 2434, 3111, 6077): et quia verum est forma seu quale boni (Arcana Coelestia 3049, 4574, 6951, [5951?], 9454, [9154?],).
Quod verum sit prorsus sicut bonum apud hominem, in simili ratione et simili gradu (Arcana Coelestia 2429).
Quod verum ut sit verum, trahet suam essentiam a bono charitatis et innocentiae (Arcana Coelestia 3111, 6013).
Vera quae ex bono quod sint vera spiritualia (Arcana Coelestia 5951).
Quod verum cum bono unum faciat cum procedit a bono, usque adeo ut utrumque simul sit unum bonum (Arcana Coelestia 4332 (4301, 4332, 7835, 10252, 10266).
Quod intellectus et voluntas unam mentem ac unam vitam faciant, cum intellectus procedit a voluntate, quoniam intellectus est recipiens veri, ac voluntas boni; non autem cum homo aliter cogitat et quam vult (Arcana Coelestia 3623).
Quod verum ex bono sit verum voluntate et actu (Arcana Coelestia 4337, 4353, 4385, 4390).
Cum verum procedit ex bono, quod bonum in vero habeat imaginem sui (Arcana Coelestia 3180).
Quod in universo caelo et mundo, ac in singulis eorum, sit instar conjugii (Arcana Coelestia 54, 718, 749, [747?], 917, 1432, 2173, 2516, 5194).
Imprimis inter verum et bonum (Arcana Coelestia 1094, [1904?], 2173, 2503, [2508?],).
Quoniam omnia in universo se referunt ad verum et ad bonum, ut sint aliquid, et ad conjunctionem eorum, ut producatur aliquid (Arcana Coelestia 2451, [2452?], 3166, 4390, 4409, 5232, 7256, 10122, 10555).
Quod antiqui etiam instituerint conjugium inter verum et bonum (Arcana Coelestia 1904).
Quod lex conjugii sit ut duo unum sint, secundum verba Domini (Arcana Coelestia 10130, 10168, 10169).
Quod etiam amor vere conjugialis ex conjugio veri et boni e caelo descendat et existat (Arcana Coelestia 2728, 2729).
Quod homo tantum sapiat quantum in bono est et inde veris, non autem quantum scit vera et non est in bono (Arcana Coelestia 3182, 3190, 4884).
Quod homo qui in veris ex bono est, actualiter elevetur e luce mundi in lucem caeli, ita ex obscuro in clarum; vicissim autem, quod sit in luce mundi, et in obscuro, quamdiu scit vera et non in bono est (Arcana Coelestia 3190, 3191, [3192?],).
Quod homo nec sciat quid bonum priusquam est in illo, et ex illo (Arcana Coelestia 3325, 3330, 3336).
Quod vera crescant in immensum cum procedunt ex bono (Arcana Coelestia 2846, 2847, 5345): de qua crescentia (Arcana Coelestia 5355).
Quod crescentia illa se habeat sicut fructificatio ex arbore, et multiplicatio ex seminibus, ex quibus integri horti (Arcana Coelestia 1873, 2846, 2847).
Quod etiam tantum sapientia crescat, et hoc in aeternum (Arcana Coelestia 3200, 3314, 4220, 4221, 5527, 5859, 6303, [10303?],.
Quod etiam homo qui in veris ex bono est, tantum illustretur, ae quod tantum in illustratione sit cum legit Verbum (Arcana Coelestia 9382, 10548-10550, 10691, 10694).
Quod bonum amoris sit instar ignis, ac verum inde sit sicut lux ex illo igne (Arcana Coelestia 3195, 3222, 5400, 8644, 9399, 9548, 9684).
Quod vera ex bono in caelo etiam luceant (Arcana Coelestia 5219).
Quod vera ex bono, per quae sapientia, crescant secundum quale et quantum amoris boni, ac vicissim falsa ex malo secundum quale et quantum amoris mali (Arcana Coelestia 4099).
Quod homo qui in veris ex bono est, in intelligentiam et sapientiam angelicam veniat, et quod illa in interioribus ejus lateat quamdiu vivit in mundo, sed quod aperiatur in altera vita (Arcana Coelestia 2494).
Quod homo qui in veris ex bono est, post mortem fiat angelus (Arcana Coelestia 8747).
Quod vera ex bono se habeant sicut generationes (Arcana Coelestia 9079).
Quod disponantur in series (Arcana Coelestia 5339, 5343, 5530, 7408, 10303, 10308).
Ordinatio verorum ex bono comparata eum fibris et vasis sanguineis in corpore, et inde texturis et formis, secundum usus vitae (Arcana Coelestia 3470, 3570, 3579, 9454, [9154?],).
Quod vera ex bono forment quasi civitatem, et hoc ex influxu caeli (Arcana Coelestia 3584).
Quod in medio sint vera quae principalis amoris sunt, et reliqua inde remota secundum gradus disconvenientiae (Arcana Coelestia 3993, 4551, 4552, 5530, 6028).
Vicissim apud malos (Arcana Coelestia 4551, 4552).
Quod vera, cum procedunt ex bono, ordinentur in formam caeli (Arcana Coelestia 4302, 4704 (4904, 5704?, 5339, 5343, 6028, 10303); et hoc secundum ordinem in quo sunt societates angelicae (Arcana Coelestia 10303).
Quod omnia vera, eum procedunt a bono, affinitate quadam inter se conjuncta sint, et quod se habeant sicut derivationes familiarum ex uno patre (Arcana Coelestia 2863).
Quod omne verum etiam habeat sphaeram extensionis in caelum secundum quale et quantum boni ex quo (Arcana Coelestia 8063).
Quod conjugium boni et veri sit ecclesia et caelum apud hominem (Arcana Coelestia 2231, [2731?], 7752, 7753, 9224, 9795, [9995?], 1012).
De jucunditate et felicitate illorum apud quos bonum est in veris (Arcana Coelestia 1470).
Quod vera ex bono conjuncta sistant imaginem hominis (Arcana Coelestia 8370).
Quod homo non sit nisi quam suum bonum et inde verum, aut malum et inde falsum (Arcana Coelestia 10298).

Quod per vera charitas erga proximum (Arcana Coelestia 4368, 7623, 7624, 8034).

Quod per vera innocentia (Arcana Coelestia 3183, 3495, [3494?], 601).
Quod per vera purificatio a malis (Arcana Coelestia 2799, 5954, 7044, 7918, 9089, [9088?], 10229, 10237).

Verumtamen omnia illa per vera ex bono, et non per vera absque bono; et bonum a Domino (Arcana Coelestia 2434, 4070, 4736, 5147).
Quod omne bonum sit a Domino (Arcana Coelestia 1614, 2016, 2904, 4151, 9981).
