9 μη μικρον εστιν τουτο υμιν οτι διεστειλεν ο θεος ισραηλ υμας εκ συναγωγης ισραηλ και προσηγαγετο υμας προς εαυτον λειτουργειν τας λειτουργιας της σκηνης κυριου και παριστασθαι εναντι της συναγωγης λατρευειν αυτοις


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 9. ...That it is of the greatest importance to understand that charity, and not faith alone, is that which particularly distinguishes the man of the Spiritual Church, who from Divine Truth engages in conflict against evil; and that gives conjunction with the Lord. For it is the function of the spiritual man to minister to the celestial, and at the same time to the natural man, as a medium of conjunction.
