SD 6065 - living the Ten Commandments

SD 6065 [2,3,5]
. . . truth and life
are to live according to the commands of the decalog:
for instance, not to steal, or act insincerely and unjustly;
which is the 7th commandment.
The truth, in this case, is,
that to act insincerely is a sin;
that to live unjustly is a sin also,
that living sincerely and acting justly is truth:
thus, truth and life make one.
Truth is to know evil and it is to know good;
and truth is a person's
when he shuns evil and loves good.
In like manner as regards the sixth commandment,
to shun adulteries, to love the chastity of marriage:
truth is, to know that adulteries are sins
and it is truth that chastity is heavenly.
So it is that life causes truth to be;
and truth is when there is also life.
It is similar with not to kill, cherish hatred or take revenge.
If this be shunned, a person comes to have charity.
Similarly as regards the 8th, Not to witness falsely, etc. 

From these things it is clear
that life and truth are one
and so far as a person does falsities,
which consist in believing and doing those evils,
so far the truth is not in him.
So far, also, as he lives according to those [commandments],
so far is he in truth,
and so far he loves truth,
and desires to know what
sincerity, justice, chastity, charity and truth are;
and, inasmuch as he is then led by the Lord,
it is granted him to know what evil and good are,
and what those specific [evils and goods]. 

In this, and no other way,
is he able to believe that God is,
that the Lord is the Savior of the world,
why He came into the world,
why He suffered the cross,
what is meant by His having borne the sins of the world,
and many other things;
for, so far as a person practices
those precepts which belong to the second table,
which was the covenant on a person's part,
so far does the Lord grant him to believe that God is,
which is the covenant of the first table,
which is on the part of God.
That the decalog is the complex of all things of truth and good,
is consequently plain,
and also from the fact . . .
that the ten commandments were written by the finger of God,
that they are called ten from the fact that they are all,
and that they were placed in the ark,
upon which was the mercy-seat,
and above that, the cherubim.
The mercy-seat is the Lord;
and the cherubim were the Word in the letter
- also the veil placed in front and it was called the Holy of Holies.
Outside these, were all things
of heaven and the Church in a representative image.
There, was the table with the shew-bread;
there, was the golden altar of incense there,
was the candlestick with the lamps:
by all which were represented all things belonging to heaven.
That Church, also, was a representative one
and, inasmuch as the Divine Law in its whole complex was in it,
therefore there was a fire there by night, and a cloud by day.
So it was, that all the Levites, together with Aaron,
pitched their tents round the ark,
and that Aaron ministered there;
likewise, that the ark showed them the way
when they went forward;
for the very truth, which is of faith,
when it is living, leads.
