Canons - God, Section VI - "In the beginning..."

The Canons of the New Church - God, Section VI

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and God was the Word.
All things were made by Him -
and the world was made by Him.
(John 1:1,3,10)

By "God" is there meant the Divine Good of Love;
and by the Word, which also was God, the Divine Truth of Wisdom.
