SS58.对他们来说，圣言之所以是发光和透明的，是因为圣言的一切细节里面都有属灵和属天的意义，这些意义就在天堂之光中。因此，主通过这些意义及其光流入属世意义，并流入其与人同在的光。这能使人出于一种内在感知而承认真理，后来则能使他在自己的思维中看见它；并且每当他处于为了真理而对真理的情感时，这种情形就会发生。因为情感产生感知，感知产生思维；结果就是被称为信的承认。关于这些事，我需要在接下来关于主通过圣言与人结合的那一章（62-69节）详细说明。
58. The reason the Word shines or glows for them is that there is spiritual and heavenly meaning in the details of the Word, and these meanings are in heaven’s light. So through these meanings and through their light the Lord flows into the earthly meaning and into its light for us. As a result, we recognize what is true because of an inner perception that enables us to see it in our thinking. This happens whenever we desire the truth because it is true. So this desire gives rise to perception and this perception gives rise to thought; the result is the acknowledgment we refer to as faith.
I need to say more about this, though, in the next chapter, on the Lord’s union with us through the Word [62-69].
58. The Word shines and is translucent with them because every particular in the Word contains in it a spiritual and celestial sense, and these senses exist in the light of heaven. Consequently the Lord flows through these senses and their light into the natural sense and its light in a person. As a result, the person acknowledges truth from an inner perception, and so sees it in his thought, and this whenever he is prompted by an affection for truth because it is true. For perception springs from affection, and thought from perception, and this produces the acknowledgment we call faith.
But we will say more on this subject in the next section on the conjunction of the Lord with a person by means of the Word.
58. The Word is lucid and transparent with them, because there is a spiritual as well as a celestial sense in every part of it, and these senses are in the light of heaven. Therefore, by means of these senses and their light, the Lord flows into the natural sense and into the light of this sense with man. Consequently, a man acknowledges the truth from an interior perception, and afterwards sees it in his own thought. This happens as often as he is in the affection of truth for its own sake; for perception comes from affection, and thought from perception; and thus arises that acknowledgment which is called faith. On this subject, however, more will be said in the following chapter, concerning the conjunction of the Lord with man by means of the Word.
58. The reason why the Word shines and is translucent with such, is that there is a spiritual and celestial sense in every particular of the Word, and these senses are in the light of heaven, so that through these senses and by their light the Lord flows into the natural sense, and into the light of it with a man. This causes the man to acknowledge the truth from an interior perception, and afterwards to see it in his own thought, and this as often as he is in the affection of truth for the sake of truth. For perception comes from affection, and thought from perception, and thus is produced the acknowledgment which is called faith. But of these things more will be said in the following chapter concerning the conjunction of the Lord with man by means of the Word.
58. Quod Verbum apud illos luceat et transluceat, est quia singulis Verbi sensus spiritualis et caelestis inest, et hi sensus sunt in luce caeli; quare Dominus per illos sensus, et per illorum lucem, influit in sensum naturalem, et in hujus lucem apud hominem. Inde homo ex interiore perceptione agnoscit verum, et dein in cogitatione sua videt illud, et hoc quoties in affectione veri propter verum est; ex affectione enim, venit perceptio, ex perceptione cogitatio, et sic fit agnitio, quae fides vocatur. Sed de hac re plura dicentur in sequente articulo de conjunctione Domini cum homine per Verbum.
