523.木星居民对独一主的敬拜（续）。他们说，他们敬拜天上独一的主；他们不以名字来称呼祂，但知道是独一的主掌管所有人。所以他们死后寻求祂，并找到祂，祂就是耶稣基督。
1)当被问及他们是否知道独一的主是一个人时，其中一个回答说，他们都知道祂是一个人，因为他们当中有许多人都看见祂是一个人，祂亲自教导他们真理，眷顾他们，信祂的人有永生。
2)祂，独一主，主宰他们的生活；他们既不敬拜偶像，也不敬拜那些向自己的仆人作独一主的中保的圣徒。他们就这样生活在纯真之中，彼此相爱，憎恶战争，拥有写在他们良心或思维上的律法，并照之生活；若不这样生活，他们就会受到他们天使的警告。
3)此外，由于他们敬拜独一主的一般原则以这种方式被揭示给他们，所以孩子们从父母那里学到了这一点。于是，这教义就这样通过口耳相传的方式传给各个家庭成员，只是没有传到那个家族之外。
4)他们不知道独一主受难的事，因为他们在这种状态下生活，并被主亲自教导。
5)死后，他们仍以这种方式被引入主的天堂。（1748年1月24日）

523. 1Continuation about the worship of the one only Lord with the inhabitants of Jupiter
They say that they worship the one only Lord of heaven, whom they do not name by name, but know that the one only Lord rules all people. They therefore look for Him after death, and find Him, Who is Jesus Christ.
1. ) Asked whether they knew that the One Only Lord is Human, he replied that they all know He is Human, for by many of them, He had been seen as Human, and He Himself teaches them about truth, He cares for them, and they who believe in Him have life eternal.
2. ) He, the One Only Lord, governs their lives, and they do not worship idols, nor those saints who are intermediaries to the one only Lord for their own servants. So they live in innocence, love one another mutually, abhor wars, have the law written in their conscience or thought, and live according to it; and if they live otherwise, they are warned by their angels.
3. ) Moreover, because the general principles of how they should worship the one only Lord have been revealed to them in this way, therefore the children learn this from their parents. It is thus a doctrine passed by word of mouth among family members, which does not spread beyond the nation.
4. ) That He the One Lord had suffered, they do not know, because they live in such a state as to be taught by Himself.
5. ) After their death, they are led in this same way to His heaven. 1748, the 24th day of January.

523. CONTINUATION CONCERNING THE WORSHIP OF THE ONE ONLY LORD WITH THE INHABITANTS OF JUPITER
They say that they worship the One Only Lord of heaven, Whom they do not name, but they know that the One Only Lord governs all. They therefore seek Him after death, and they find Him, Who is Jesus Christ. When asked whether they knew that the One Only Lord is a Man, one of them replied that they all know that He is a Man, for He has been seen as a Man by many of them,
(1) and He Himself instructs them concerning the truth, preserves them, and those who believe in Him have eternal life. He, the One Only Lord, governs their lives; they adore neither idols nor those saints
(2) who are the mediators for their servants to the One Only Lord. In this manner do they live. They are in innocence, loving each other mutually. They abhor wars. They have written on their conscience, or thought, the law according to which they live, and if they live otherwise, they are admonished by their angels. Moreover, because it has been thus revealed as to its generals
(3) how they ought to worship the One Only Lord, children learn this from their parents, and in this way the doctrine is delivered by word of mouth to the families. This doctrine does not extend beyond that family. They do not know that that One Only Lord has suffered.
(4) Because they live in such a state and are instructed by Him, after their death,
(5) they are thus led to His heaven. 1748, Jan. 24. 1

523. Dicunt, quod colant unicum Dominum coeli, quem non nominant, sed sciunt, quod unicus Dominus regat omnes. Hunc ideo quaerunt post mortem, ac inveniunt, Qui est Jesus Christus; interrogatus, num scirent quod Unicus Dominus sit Homo, respondit, quod sciant omnes quod Homo sit, nam a multis eorum est visus ut Homo, ac Ipse instruit eos de veritate, conservat eos, et qui credunt in Ipsum, habent vitam aeternam, Ille Unicus Dominus regit eorum vitas, nec adorant idola, nec sanctos istos, qui mediatores sunt suis servis ad unicum Dominum, ita vivunt in innocentia , amant 1
se invicem, abhorrent bella, habent in conscientia seu cogitatione inscriptam legem, secundum quam vivant, et si aliter vivunt, ab angelis eorum advertuntur; praeterea quomodo colere debeant unicum Dominum, id, quia sic revelatum, quoad communia, discunt liberi a parentibus, sic est doctrina oretenus tradita in gentiles, quae non latius emanat, quam ad gentem. Quod Unus Ille Dominus passus fuerit, id ignorant, quia in tali statu vivunt, ac instruuntur ab Ipso, et post eorum mortem ita ducuntur ad coelum Ipsius. 1748, die 24 Jan.
