207. Verse 8. (Revelation 3:8) I know thy works, signifies a life of charity. This is evident from the signification of "works," as being those things that are of man's love, thus of his life (See above, n. 98, 116, 185); here, therefore, the things that are of charity, since that is what is treated of in what is written to this church.

'Wood' signifies good, as well the good of love to the Lord as the good of charity towards our neighbor.
