9324. “也必从你们中间除去疾病” 表保护, 免得歪曲真理, 玷污良善. 这从 “从你们中间除去” 和 “疾病” 的含义清楚可知:

“从你们中间除去” 当论及 “疾病” 所表示的被歪曲的真理和被玷污的良善时, 是指保护, 因为当主保护某人免受它们伤害时, 就会除去它们 (参看9313节);

“疾病” 是指被歪曲的真理和被玷污的良善. 这些就是属灵生命的疾病; 因为属灵生命通过属于信的真理和属于爱的良善而存在和持续存在. 当这些被歪曲和败坏时, 人就生病了; 但当它们在心里被否认时, 他在灵性上就死了.

“疾病” 表示这类事物并与它们相对应 (参看4958, 5711-5727, 8364, 9031节的末尾节).
