Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 13. And all things that were remote from spiritual life in these affections shall be put off (Arcana Coelestia 3703), and they shall become more closely conjoined to the regenerate will, and shall arrive at a new state in which the evils and falsities formerly belonging to that state are buried in oblivion (Apocalypse Explained 555) : and after this these affections maybe conjoined to the regenerating soul, the regenerate will derived from the Lord will impart its own quality to them, and they will be helpful to the regenerate life.
