1 Και οτε ητο ο Αβραμ ενενηκοντα εννεα ετων, εφανη ο Κυριος εις τον Αβραμ και ειπε προς αυτον, Εγω ειμαι Θεος ο Παντοκρατωρ· περιπατει ενωπιον μου, και εσο τελειος.

2115. 'From the son who is a foreigner' means all who are rational outside the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'son who is a foreigner' as those who are outside the Church, dealt with above in 2049, thus gentiles who do not possess the Word and therefore do not know anything about the Lord. And that these equally are saved when they are rational, that is, when they live together in charity or mutual love and have received something of a conscience in accordance with their own religion, has been shown in Volume One, in 593, 932, 1032, 1059, 1327, 1328.
