AC 9103 - interior & exterior good

AC 9103
Interior good is that good which is called charity
in the interior person;
and exterior good is charity in the exterior person.
The latter good must live from the former,
for the good of charity in the interior person
is the good of spiritual life;
and the good of charity in the exterior person
is the good of the derivative natural life.
The latter good comes to the sensation of a person as delight;
but the former good does not come to sensation,
but to perception that so it ought to be,
and makes a contented mind.
