1994. 'And be blameless' means the good of charity. This is clear from the meaning of 'blameless' as doing good coming from truth, that is, good springing from a conscience for what is true and so from charity; for charity constitutes conscience, concerning which meaning see 612. But because the Lord is the subject here in the internal sense, 'blameless' means the good of charity, charity being the source from which good goes forth, so much so that the actual truth deriving from it is good.
