AR 172
And unto the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
signifies to those and concerning those
who are in truths from good from the Lord.
AR 173
"Holy" often occurs in the Word,
and everywhere relates to truth,
and as all truth, which in itself is truth,
is good, and is from the Lord,
it is that truth which is called holy;
but good from which truth is,
is called just.
AR 178
They who are in truths from good from the Lord,
know that they have not any power against evils and falsities,
thus against hell,
from themselves,
and they also know that they cannot,
out of any power from themselves,
do good and introduce themselves into heaven,
but that all power is the Lord's,
and thus is in them from the Lord,
and in proportion as they are in truths from good,
in the same proportion they are in power from the Lord,
which yet appears to them as their own.
AR 189
Wisdom in a person is from no other source
than good by truths from the Lord.
the reason why a person has wisdom through these is,
because the Lord conjoins Himself to a person,
and a person to Himself by them,
and the Lord is wisdom itself;
therefore wisdom perishes with a person when he ceases to do truths,
that is, to live according to them,
for then he ceases to love wisdom,
and thus the Lord.
