168. "'He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments.'" (3:5) This symbolically means that anyone who is reformed becomes spiritual.

To be shown that someone who overcomes means, symbolically, someone who is reformed, see no. 88 above. And to be shown that being clothed in white garments means, symbolically, to become spiritual through truths, see nos. 166, 167.

All those people become spiritual who possess truths and live according to them.
