Postanak 43:7

Studie

       

7 A oni rekoše: Čovek je potanko raspitivao za nas i za rod naš govoreći: Je li vam jošte živ otac? Imate li još braće? A mi mu odgovorismo kako nas pitaše. Jesmo li mogli kako znati da će kazati: Dovedite brata svog?

5626. And take your brother. That this signifies that in this way they would have the good of faith, is evident from the representation of Simeon, who is here the “brother” whom they were to take, as being faith in the will (n. 3869-3872, 4497, 4502, 4503, 5482), thus the good of faith, because when the truth of faith passes into the will it becomes the good of faith; for the truth then passes into the man’s life, and when it is there it is regarded not as something to be known, but as something to be done; consequently it changes its essence and becomes actual. Hence it is no longer called truth, but good.
