AC 10331 - wisdom, intelligence, knowledge & work

AC 10331 [4]
With those who are in the good of love to the Lord,
wisdom, intelligence, knowledge, and work,
follow together in order 

from inmost to outermost.
With such people,
wisdom is inmost,
for it is to will well from love;
intelligence is second,
for it is to understand well from willing well.
These two are of the internal person.
Knowledge consists in knowing well,
and work in doing well,
both from willing well.
These two are of the external person.
From this it is evident
that wisdom must be in intelligence,
intelligence in knowledge,
and knowledge in work.
Thus work includes and brings to a conclusion
all the interior things,
for it is the ultimate in which they terminate.
