241. The Church
What constitutes heaven for us also constitutes the church; just as love and faith constitute heaven, so too love and faith constitute the church. So we can see what the church is from what has already been said about heaven [230-240].

Chapter 19. The Christian Religion
What makes heaven in us also makes our religion. Love and faith make religion just as they make heaven. So you can see what religion is from what I said before about heaven.
241. XIX. ON THE CHURCH
What makes heaven in the case of a person, also makes the church. For as love and faith make heaven, so too love and faith make the church. So from what has already been said about heaven it is plain what the church is.
241. THE CHURCH.
WHAT constitutes heaven with a man, also constitutes the Church; for as love and faith constitute heaven, so also love and faith constitute the Church: consequently, from what has been already said concerning heaven, it is evident what the Church is.
241. XIX. THE CHURCH.
That which constitutes heaven with man, also constitutes the church; for as love and faith constitute heaven, so they also constitute the church; thus, from what has been already said concerning heaven, it is evident what the church is.
