ถ้าจะก่อแท่นบูชาด้วยศิลาสำหรับเรา อย่าก่อด้วยศิลาที่ตกแต่งแล้ว เพราะถ้าเจ้าใช้เครื่องมือตกแต่งศิลานั้น เจ้าก็จะทำให้ศิลานั้นเป็นมลทิน
พระธรรม 20:25

Arcana Coelestia #8879
8879. 'And showing mercy to thousands' means goodness and truth imparted to them for evermore. This is clear from the meaning of 'mercy' as the influx of goodness and truth from the Lord, and therefore spiritual life imparted through regeneration, dealt with in 6180, 8307, for out of mercy the Lord imparts the gifts that belong to eternal life and happiness; and from the meaning of 'a thousand' as very much and, when it refers to God's mercy, as for evermore, dealt with in 2575, 8715.
