165# “若不悔改他们的作为”表示除非他们与这些虚假分离。这从“悔改”和“作为”的含义清楚可知：“悔改”是指与虚假分离(对此，参看143节)；“作为”，在此是指与耶洗别的淫行，与耶洗别的淫行表示对虚假的接受(对此，参看AE163节)。与这些虚假分离就是悔改，悔改就是停止邪恶和虚假，然后避开并憎恶它们(参看《新耶路撒冷及其属天教义》，161, 165, 169等节)。
165. Except they repent of their works. That this signifies, unless they separate themselves from them is evident from the signification of repenting, as being to separate themselves from falsities (concerning which see above, n. 143): and from the signification of works, as here denoting the whoredoms with Jezebel, by which are signified the reception of falsities (concerning which see what was said just above, n. 163). To separate themselves from them is to repent, and to repent is to desist from evils and falsities, and afterwards to flee from and hold them in aversion (see The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 161, 165, 169, and the following numbers).
165. Except they repent of their works, signifies except they separate themselves from them. This is evident from the signification of "repenting," as being to separate oneself from falsities (of which see above, n. 143); also from the signification of "works," which are here whoredoms with Jezebel, by which are signified the reception of falsities (of which see just above, n. 163. To separate oneself from these is to repent, and to repent is to refrain from evils and falsities, and afterwards to shun them and to have them in aversion (See The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 161, 165, 169)
165. "Si non resipuerint ad operibus suis." - Quod significet si non Se separent ab illis, constat ex significatione "resipiscere", quod sit se separare a falsis (de qua supra, n. 163); et ex significatione "operum", quod hic sint scortationes cum Isabele, per quas significantur receptiones falsorum (de quibus mox supra, n. 163). Separare se ab illis est paenitentiam agere, et paenitentiam agere est desistere a malis et falsis, et dein fugere et aversari illa (videatur Doctrina Novae Hierosolymae, n. 161, 165, 169, et seq.).
