Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 3. Wherefore it is perceived by the perfect man, that the Lord provides all things earnestly desired and sought after from good and truth; also that the external man is sanctified by the internal when it is formed by celestial good, and thus acquires a perpetual heavenly quality; and lastly that, in this way, Divine Truth and Divine Love are established in the external, and will be perpetual.
