AE 537a - truth and good together

AE 537a [4,5]
. . . salvation is from the Lord by means of Divine truth from the Word . . ..

. . . as every truth is from good,
or everything of faith from charity,
and as those who separate and exclude good from truth,
or charity from faith,
possess no genuine truth of doctrine,
but every truth of the Word with them is like the meaning of the mere words
with no perception of the thing,
thus like a shell without a kernel,
so they dispute about the truths of faith . . ..
