DLIFE 1, 8 - All religion is of life, and the life of religion is to do what is good.

The Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem

DLIFE 1
All religion is of life, and the life of religion is to do what is good.

The life of a person is his love,
and that which he loves
he not only likes to be doing,
but also likes to be thinking.

. . . doing what is good
acts as a one
with thinking what is good,
for if in a person these two things do not act as a one,
they are not of his life.

DLIFE 8
The reason why all religion is of the life,
is that after death everyone is his own life,
for the life stays the same as it had been in this world,
and undergoes no change.
For an evil life cannot be converted into a good one,
nor a good life into an evil one,
because they are opposites,
and conversion into what is opposite is extinction.
