AE 714 - The Word and Loving the Use of Truth

 AE 714 [9, 10]

. . . the Word, viewed in itself,
is simply the doctrine of love to the Lord
and of charity towards the neighbor,
and nowhere the doctrine of faith separate from charity.

. . . but all who are in the spiritual affection of truth,
that is, who love truth because it is truth
and because it is serviceable to eternal life
and to the life of people's souls,
have intelligence from the Lord.
