AC 6180 - "And do mercy and truth with me." (Genesis 47:29)

AC 6180
And do mercy and truth with me.
... the signification of "doing mercy," as being the good of love;
and from the signification of "doing," as being the truth of faith.
These words are uttered as words of supplication, thus of humiliation.
That "doing mercy" denotes the good of love
is because all mercy is of love;
for he who is in love or charity is also in mercy,
and the love and charity in him becomes mercy
when the neighbor is in need or misery,
and he affords him help in that state.
So it is that by "mercy" is signified the good of love.
That "doing truth" denotes the truth of faith is because all truth is of faith....

[2] .. the good of love and the truth of faith are in the closet conjunction,
and the one is not possible without the other...
