CL 80 [2]
. . . all people who regard adulterous affairs as nothing,
that is, who believe they are not sins
and who commit them deliberately and so purposefully,
at heart are evil doers and irreligious.
For the human inclination toward marriage
goes hand in hand with religion at every step.
CL 82
The doctrines of the church
that is meant by the New Jerusalem
are as follows:
1. There is one God, in whom is the Divine Trinity,
and that God is the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. Saving faith is to believe in Him.
3. Evils must be abstained from
because they are of the devil and from the devil.
4. Good deeds must be done
because they are of God and from God.
5. These good deeds must be done by a person
as though he were doing them from himself,
but he must believe that they are from the Lord
in him and by means of him.
