143、没有人在一种无知的状态下被改造，因为所有改造都是通过真理和照之的生活实现的。所以，那些不知道真理的人不可能被改造。然而，他们若出于对真理的情感而渴慕真理，死后会在灵界被改造。
143. States of ignorance: No one is reformed in a state of ignorance because all reformation is effected by means of truths and by a life in accordance with them. Therefore people who do not know any truths cannot be reformed. However, if they desire truths from an affection for them, they are reformed after death in the spiritual world.
143. The reason no one is reformed in a state of ignorance is that our reformation takes place by means of truths and by means of our living by them, so if people do not know what is true, they cannot be reformed. However, if they long for truths because they are drawn to them, then they are reformed in the spiritual world after death.

143. Quod nemo reformetur in STATU IGNORANTIAE, est quia omnis reformatio fit per vera et per vitam secundum illa, quare illi qui non sciunt vera, non possunt reformari: sed si desiderant illa ex affectione illorum, reformantur in mundo spirituali post mortem.
