1007. And keepeth his garments. That this signifies who live according to His Divine truths, is evident from the signification of garments, as denoting truths covering good (concerning which see n. 64, 65, 195, 271, 395, 637). Hence by keeping the garments, is signified to live according to truths; in this case, according to the Lord's Divine truths in the Word.

Continuation concerning the Sixth Precept:-

In a word, from every conjunction of evil and falsity in the spiritual world there issues forth a sphere of adultery, but only from those who are in falsities of doctrine and in evils of life; but not from those who are in falsities of doctrine and yet are in goods of life; for with the latter there is no conjunction of evil and falsity, but only with the former.

But this flows especially from priests who have taught falsely and lived wickedly; for these have both adulterated and falsified the Word. By such, although they were not adulterers in the world, adultery is nevertheless excited, but an adultery called sacerdotal adultery, which is nevertheless distinguishable from other adulteries. Hence it is evident that the origin of adulteries is the love and consequent conjunction of evil and falsity.
