IN PROPORTION
AS ANY ONE SHUNS FALSE WITNESS OF EVERY KIND AS SIN,
IN THE SAME PROPORTION
HE LOVES THE TRUTH.
DLIFE 89
In proportion as anyone loves the truth,
in the same proportion he desires to know it,
and in the same proportion is affected at heart when he finds it.
No one else comes into wisdom.
And in proportion as anyone loves to do the truth,
in the same proportion
he is sensible of the pleasantness of the light in which the truth is.
It is the same with all the other things spoken of above;
with sincerity and justice
in the case of one who shuns thefts of every kind;
with chastity and purity
in the case of one who shuns adulteries of every kind;
and with love and charity
in the case of one who shuns murders of every kind; and so forth.
