4172. “是我自己赔上” 表那良善是从它那里出来的. 这从 “赔上” 的含义清楚可知, “赔上” 是指赔偿, 在此是指良善是从它那里出来的. 至于人有过错的邪恶和人没有过错的邪恶, 如前所示, 它们以 “自死的” 和 “被 (野兽) 撕裂的” 来表示, 情况是这样: 人有过错的邪恶, 或人通过实际生活所获得, 并且还在思维上确认以至于相信并完全信服的邪恶无法得到纠正, 而永远保留. 人没有过错的邪恶, 也就是人未从思维上确认, 也没有从内在信服的邪恶虽然也会保留, 但只附着于外在, 因为没有进入内层, 败坏内在人. 良善能从这种邪恶当中出来, 因为尚未受到影响, 也没有默许的内在人能直到外在人中的邪恶的确是邪恶. 因此, 它能被移除. 而且, 由于内在人能看到这邪恶, 所以同时它也能更清楚地看到良善. 因为良善通过对立面, 比通过非对立面被看得更清楚; 那时, 此人自己也会对那良善产生更深的情感; 这就是良善从它那里出来的含义.

2839. 'On the mountain Jehovah will see [to it]' means charity by means of which provision was made by the Lord for them, that is, for those who are spiritual, to be saved. This is clear from the meaning of 'the mountain' as love and charity, dealt with in 795, 796, 1430. The expression 'Jehovah will see [to it]' is the Lord's Providence, or provision made by the Lord, as has been stated just above in 2837. Here charity is referred to, not love, on account of the difference that exists between charity and love, dealt with in 2023. As regards spiritual people being saved by means of charity, not by means of faith separated from charity, this is clear from many places in the Word. The situation with regard to charity and to faith is this: Charity devoid of faith is not genuine charity, and faith devoid of charity is not faith. For charity to be real, faith must be present; and for faith to be real, charity must be present. The absolute essential however is charity, for that seed which is faith cannot be implanted in any other ground. From their being joined together through each reaching out and responding to the other, the heavenly marriage, that is, the Lord's kingdom, has its being. Unless faith exists implanted in charity it is merely knowledge, for it does not go beyond the memory, there being no affection in the heart to receive it. But when implanted in charity, that is, in life, faith becomes intelligence and wisdom. Charity devoid of faith, like that existing with young children and with gentiles who are upright, is simply the ground in which faith is implanted, if not in this life then in the next life, see 802, 2280, 2289-2309, 2417, 2589-2604.
