Verse 19. To cast out all the evils and falses from the interiors of your mind, according to the Divine will as perceived by the soul.

6. Which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants. That this signifies for those who are in truths from good, is evident from the signification of giving the revelation to Him to show, as denoting to declare predictions, or, what is the same thing, predictions for those persons; and from the signification of His servants, as denoting those who are in truths from good. The reason why such are meant by servants of God, is, that, in the Word, those who hearken to and obey God are called servants of God. Hearkening and obedience exist only with those who are in truths from good, but not with those who are in truths alone, or in truths without good; for the latter have truths in the memory only, but not in the life; whereas those who are in truths from good, have truths in the life, and those who have truths in the life do them from the heart, that is, from love. It should be known that no truth ever enters into the life of a man unless he is in good, for good belongs to love, and love constitutes the whole man; thus a man receives into his life all the truths which agree with his love. This is quite evident from the fact that a man appropriates to himself whatever he loves, rejecting and holding in aversion everything else. By good is meant here the good of love to the Lord and the good of love towards the neighbour, this being the only spiritual good, with which the truths of faith agree.
