14 Katsos, sinä ajat minun pois tänäpäivänä maalta, ja minun pitää sinun kasvois edestä lymymän ja tulen kulkiaksi ja pakenevaiseksi maan päällä. Ja niin minun käy, kuka ikänänsä minun löytää, se tappaa minun.

The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #405

  
/ 418  
  

405. Internal Meaning of Genesis, Chapter 4

1-26 Division of that church, which took place between those who made everything of the church and thus of salvation to consist in the mere doctrine and knowledge [scientia] of cognitions (who were Cain); and those who made it to consist also in a life of love and charity (who were Abel); and, abstractly, that a mere knowledge [scientia] of doctrinals, like faith alone, when all of religion is made to consist in it alone, slays charity. But those who made a church out of mere doctrine, and did not at the same time make it consist in life, were rejected.
