249# 所谓圣言诸处皆有主与教会之婚姻，并由此有善与真之婚姻者，盖主与教会之婚姻所在，善与真之婚姻亦必在焉；后者本出于前者也。盖当教会，或教会之人，居于诸真理中时，主即以良善流入其真理而赋之以生命；换言之，当教会之人处于真理之理解中时，主便藉仁义之良善流入其理智，因而将生命灌注其中。
人各有生命之二官能，曰理智，曰意志。理智乃真理之容器，并由此为智慧之容器；意志乃良善之容器，并由此为仁义之容器。此二者必合而为一，人乃得为教会之人。其合一也，在于人以纯正真理形成其理智；此事在表象上若出于人自己。又在于其意志为爱之良善所充满；此事则出于主。由是人有真理之生命，亦有良善之生命：真理之生命在理智中，良善之生命在意志中。二者既合，则不为二生命，乃为一生命。此即人里面主与教会之婚姻，亦即善与真之婚姻。
249# 前面说明，在圣言的每一个细节里面都有一个主与教会的婚姻，因而有一个良善与真理的婚姻，因为哪里有主与教会的婚姻，哪里也有良善与真理的婚姻，后者来自前者。事实上，当教会，即教会之人处于真理时，主就会以良善流入他的真理，使它们活过来；或也可说，当教会之人处于对真理的理解时，主就会通过仁之良善流入他的理解，从而将生命注入它。每个人里面都有两种生命官能，被称为理解力和意愿。理解力是真理的容器，因而是智慧的容器，意愿是良善的容器，因而是仁爱的容器。这两种官能必须构成一体，以便人可以成为教会之人或教会成员；当人用真正的真理来形成他的理解力，表面上看，这貌似是凭他自己做的时，当他的意愿充满爱之情感，这是由主做的时，它们就构成一体。通过这种方式，人既拥有真理的生命，也拥有良善的生命，真理的生命在他的理解力中，良善的生命在他的意愿中；当这两种生命成为一体时，它们就构成一种生命，而不是两种。这就是主与教会的婚姻，也是人里面良善与真理的婚姻。
249. The heading above states that in the individual details in the Word there is a marriage between the Lord and the church and therefore a marriage between goodness and truth, because wherever there is a marriage between the Lord and the church a marriage between goodness and truth is also present, since the latter marriage comes from the former one.
When a whole church, or just an individual within a church, has truths, the Lord flows into these truths with goodness and brings them to life. To put it another way, when people who are part of a church understand something true, the Lord flows into their intellect and enlivens it by bringing goodwill into it.
We all have two faculties of life called the intellect and the will. Our intellect is a vessel for truth and therefore for wisdom; our will is a vessel for goodness and therefore for goodwill. For us to become part of the church, these two parts of us have to become one. The two parts do in fact become one when we build our intellect with genuine truths (which happens to all appearances as if we were doing the building ourselves) and our will is filled with goodness and love (which is done by the Lord). Then the life of truth and the life of goodness are in us - the life of truth in our intellect and the life of goodness in our will. When these two lives are united, they become one life, not two. This is the marriage between the Lord and the church; it is also the marriage between goodness and truth in us.
249. There is said to be a marriage of the Lord and the church in the details of the Word, and thus a marriage of good and truth, because where there is a marriage of the Lord and the church, there too there is a marriage of good and truth, for the one is the result of the other. So long as a church or its individual members are in possession of truths, the Lord acts upon the truths with good and makes them come alive; or, what is the same thing, so long as a person belonging to the church is able to understand truth, the Lord acts upon his understanding by means of the good of charity and thus pours life into it. Every person has two life-faculties, known as the understanding and the will. The understanding receives truth and hence wisdom; the will receives good and hence charity. These two faculties must act as one for a person to be a true member of the church; and they do so, so long as a person forms his understanding from genuine truths, and this appears to be his own doing, and so long as his will is filled by the good of love, which is the Lord's doing. Hence a person has a life of truth and a life of good, the life of truth in the understanding, the life of good in the will. So long as they are united, they make not two, but one life. This is the marriage of the Lord and the church, or the marriage of good and truth in the case of the individual.
249. There is said to be a marriage of the Lord and the church, and in consequence of good and truth, in every particular of the Word, because where there is a marriage of the Lord and the church there is also a marriage of good and truth, since the latter is from the former. For when the church, that is, the man of the church, is in truths, the Lord flows into his truths with good, and makes them alive; or what is the same thing, when the man of the church is in the understanding of truth the Lord flows into his understanding through the good of charity, and thus pours life into it. In every man there are two faculties of life called the understanding and will. The understanding is the receptacle of truth and thus of wisdom, and the will is the receptacle of good and thus of charity. That man may be a man of the church these two faculties must make one; and they make one when man forms his understanding out of genuine truths, which in appearance is done as if by himself, and when his will is filled with the good of love, which is done by the Lord. In consequence of this, man has both a life of truth and a life of good, a life of truth in his understanding, and a life of good in his will, and when these are made one they constitute one life and not two. This is the marriage of the Lord and the church, and also the marriage of good and truth in man.
249. It is said that in every detail of the Word there is the marriage of the Lord and the Church, and consequently the marriage of good and truth; because where there is the marriage of the Lord and the Church there also is the marriage of good and truth, the latter resulting from the former. For when the Church, or a man of the Church, is principled in truths, the Lord then enters into those truths with good, and makes them live; or what is the same, when a man of the Church is in the understanding of truth, the Lord then enters his understanding through the good of charity, and thus infuses life into it.
There are two faculties of life in every man, the understanding and the will, the understanding being the receptacle of truth, and thence of wisdom, the will being the receptacle of good, and thence of charity. These two faculties ought to make one, that a man may be a member of the Church; and they are united when a man forms his understanding from genuine truths, apparently of himself, and when his will is filled with the good of love, which is done by the Lord. In this way a man has the life of truth and the life of good, the life of truth in his understanding and the life of good in his will; and when these are united, they form not two lives but one. This is the marriage of the Lord and the Church, and also the marriage of good and truth in man.
249. Dicitur quod in singulis Verbi sit conjugium Domini et Ecclesiae, et inde conjugium boni et veri; quia ubi conjugium Domini et Ecclesiae est, ibi etiam conjugium boni et veri est, est enim hoc conjugium ab illo; nam dum Ecclesia seu homo Ecclesiae in veris est, tunc Dominus in vera ejus influit cum bono, et illa vivificat; seu quod idem, dum homo Ecclesiae in intellectu veri est, tunc Dominus per bonum charitatis in intellectum ejus influit, et sic ei infundit vitam. Sunt binae Facultates vitae apud unumquemvis hominem, quae Vocantur Intellectus et Voluntas; Intellectus est receptaculum veri, et inde sapientiae, ac voluntas est receptaculum boni, et inde charitatis; hae duae Facultates unum facient, ut homo sit homo Ecclesiae, ac unum faciunt, dum homo Intellectum format ex genuinis veris, et hoc fit ad apparentiam sicut ab illo, et dum Voluntas ejus impletur bono amoris, hoc fit a Domino; inde homini vita veri et vita boni est, vita veri in Intellectu, et vita boni in Voluntate, quae dum unitae sunt, non duas sed unam vitam faciunt. Hoc est Conjugium Domini et Ecclesiae, tum Conjugium boni et veri apud hominem.
