2050. Verse 13 He must be circumcised 1 who is born in your house or who is the purchase of your silver; and My covenant shall be in your flesh as an eternal covenant.

'He must be circumcised!' means that they must completely remove from themselves self-love and love of the world. 'Who is born in your house or who is the purchase of your silver' means both types of people found inside the Church. 'And My covenant shall be in your flesh', in addition to being a meaningful sign, means conjunction of the Lord with man in his impurity. 'As an eternal covenant' means conjunction.

Fußnoten:

1. literally, By being circumcised he shall be circumcised
