038.(未翻译或原文无此节)
38. 1Regeneration takes place in every individual case in the same way as it does collectively, namely in the Church, in the world of spirits, in heaven: there is a continual combat of inner elements with outward ones, thus of the Lord's angels with the spirits controlling the person's outer elements. This happens in different ways, depending on the nature of each individual, and their various states. See also Temptation. [Regeneration; Combat]
