Marriage #21

  
/ 126  
  

21. (8) Consequently the heavenly joys, which the angels have only from this source, are countless, and hardly one of that countless number is known in the world, because today adultery reigns there, even as a result of falsity of doctrine; but they were known in part to the most ancient men.
