3709. “地上万宗族必因你得福” 表关注良善的教义所教导的一切真理必与良善结合. 这从 “得福”, “宗族” 和 “地” 的含义清楚可知: “得福” 是指结合 (参看3504, 3514, 3530, 3565, 3584节); “宗族” 是指良善, 以及关注良善的真理 (1159, 1261节); “地” 是指属教会之物, 因而是指属世人或外在人里面的良善与真理的教义, 这属世人或外在人在此由 “雅各” 来代表 (268, 566, 990, 3671节). 所有这一切表明, “地上万宗族必因你得福” 表关注良善的教义所教导的一切真理必与良善结合. 关注良善的教义所教导的真理就是关于对主之爱和对邻之仁的教义事物, 当为了行出它们而认识它们就是满足和快乐时, 可以它们在属世人里面与良善结合.
