9309. 'For he will not bear your transgression' means because those falsities are repugnant to truths springing from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'transgression' as things which are contrary to the truths of faith, dealt with in 9156, thus which are repugnant to truths springing from good, which the truths of faith are. The reason why truths springing from good are the truths of faith is that faith goes together with good, so much so that it cannot exist except where good does. Consequently 'not bearing your transgression' means not putting up with falsities arising from evil because they are repugnant to truths springing from good. Regarding that repugnance, see above in 9298. The meaning here is similar to that in David,

Kiss the Son lest He be angry, and you perish on the way, for His anger will flare up quickly. Blessed are all putting their trust in Him. Psalms 2:12.

The Lord is here called 'the Son' by virtue of the truth of faith that comes from Him, for that truth is meant by 'the Son', see 1729, 1733, 2159, 2803, 2813, 3704.
