一、神性之爱的智慧具有全能、全知与全在
50# 由神性之爱生发的神性智慧，自带全能、全知、全在三大属性
全能、全知、全在三大属性，本自寓于神性之爱所生发的神性智慧之中；并非神性之爱依托、借由神性智慧方得拥有此三大属性。这是源自天堂的深层奥秘，向来未曾显明、入于世人理性之中。盖因世人始终不识爱之本体为何，亦不明智慧的本质要义，更无从洞悉二者彼此互入、相融共生的内在联结。
此一神圣联结的秩序乃是：神性之爱携其全部本质与细微分殊，全然流入神性智慧、安住于智慧之内。如同君王安居于自己的国度，亦如主人坐镇于自己的家宅；爱将一切公义治理的权柄，全然交托于智慧的判断。究其本源，公义隶属于爱，判断隶属于智慧，是以神性之爱将自身一切治理功用，尽数交付其内发的神性智慧。
此层奥秘的完整奥义，将于后文逐步光照、逐层阐发。今先立此核心准则，作为全篇立论根基：上帝之所以全然全能、全知、全在，乃是凭借其爱中之智慧、智慧中之爱。
这一真理亦可由《约翰福音》经文佐证：
“太初有道，道与上帝同在，道就是上帝（上帝就是道）[ Deus erat Verbum，拉丁文直译，应为“上帝就是道” ]。万物都是借着他造的；凡被造的，没有一样不是借着他造的。生命在他里头，这生命就是人的光。世界也是借着他造的。道成了肉身。”（约1:1，3，4，10，14）
经文中所言的“道”，即是神性真理，亦等同于神性智慧，二者本体唯一、归于同质。故此经文又称其为生命与光；究其本质，属天的生命与属天的光，除却神性智慧之外，别无他源、别无他体。
50# （1）全能、全知和全在属于来自神性之爱的神性智慧，或说是来自神性之爱的神性智慧的属性。全能、全知和全在属于来自神性之爱的神性智慧，或说是来自神性之爱的神性智慧的属性，但不是通过神性智慧而属于神性之爱，或说不是通过神性智慧而是神性之爱的属性，这是来自天堂的一个奥秘，至今还没有被任何人的理解力明白，因为迄今为止，没有人知道爱本质上是什么，由此而来的智慧本质上是什么，更不知道这一个如何流入那一个；即：爱及其一切都流入智慧并住在那里，就像国王在自己的王国，或主人在自己家中一样，将公义的一切管理都留给智慧的公平；由于公义属于爱，或说是爱的属性，公平属于智慧，或说是智慧的属性，所以爱将爱的一切管理都留给自己的智慧。但这个奥秘在下文会变得清晰；在此期间，请把它当作一个普遍原则。约翰福音中的这些话是指，神通过祂的爱之智慧而为全能、全知和全在：
起初有圣言，圣言与神同在，神就是圣言。万物都是藉着祂造的，凡被造的，没有一样不是藉着祂造的。生命在祂里头，这生命就是人的光。世界是藉着祂造的。圣言成了肉身。（约翰福音1:1，3–4，14）
此处“圣言”是指神性真理，或也可说，是指神性智慧。因此，它被称为“生命”和“光”，因为“生命”和“光”只是智慧。
50. 1. It is divine wisdom, acting on behalf of divine love, that has omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. Omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence belong to divine wisdom acting on behalf of divine love, not to divine love acting through divine wisdom. This is a secret from heaven that has never yet dawned on anyone's understanding, because before this no one has known what love is in its essence, or what wisdom is in its essence, much less how the one flows into the other. Love, with everything that belongs to it, flows into wisdom and takes up residence there like a monarch of a realm or a head of a household. The actual administration of justice is something love leaves to wisdom's judgment; and since justice relates to love and judgment to wisdom, this means that love leaves the administration of love to its [partner,] wisdom. More light will be shed on this secret in what follows. For now, the statement above will have to serve as a general rule.
The following words in John mean that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent through the wisdom of his love:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by it, and nothing that was made came about without it. In it there was life, and that life was the light for humankind. And the world was made by it; and the Word became flesh. (John 1:1, 3-4, 10, 14)
In this passage "the Word" means divine truth or, what amounts to the same thing, divine wisdom. This is why the Word is also called "life" and "light," since life and light are nothing but wisdom.
50. (i) OMNIPOTENCE, OMNISCIENCE AND OMNIPRESENCE ARE PROPERTIES OF THE DIVINE WISDOM RESULTING FROM THE DIVINE LOVE.
That omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence are qualities of the Divine Wisdom as the result of the Divine Love, and not of the Divine Love by means of the Divine Wisdom, is a secret from heaven which up to now has not dawned on anyone's understanding, because no one so far has known what love is in its essence and what the wisdom derived from it is in its, not to mention the influence of one upon the other. What happens is that love with all its particulars flows into wisdom and there lives like a king in his realm or a master in his house, leaving all the administration of justice to its judgment. Since righteousness is an attribute of love and judgment an attribute of wisdom, love leaves all control to its wisdom. The following pages will shed more light on this secret, for the moment this statement may serve as a rule. The fact that God's omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence arise through the wisdom of His love is what is meant by the following passage from John:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was nothing made which was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men; and the world was made through Him; and the Word was made flesh, John 1:1, 3-4, 10, 14.
'Word' here means Divine Truth, or, what comes to the same thing, the Divine Wisdom. That is why it is also called life and light; for these are nothing but wisdom.
50. (1) Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence pertain to the Divine wisdom from the Divine love. That omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, pertain to the Divine wisdom from the Divine love, but not to the Divine love through the Divine wisdom, is an arcanum from heaven that has not yet dawned upon the understanding of anyone, because it has not yet been known what love is in its essence, and what wisdom therefrom is in its essence, and still less how one flows into the other; namely, that love, with each and all things of love, flows into wisdom and dwells in it, as a king in his kingdom, or as a master in his house, leaving all the administration of justice to the judgment of wisdom; and as justice pertains to love, and judgment to wisdom, love leaves all the administration of love to its own wisdom. But this arcanum will borrow light from what follows; meanwhile let it serve as a canon. That god is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent through the wisdom of His love is meant by the words in John:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the world was made by Him. And the Word was made flesh (John 1:1, 3-4, 11:10, 14);
"the Word" here meaning the Divine truth, or, what amounts to the same thing, the Divine wisdom; and for this reason it is called "life" and "light," "life" and "light" being nothing else than wisdom.
50. (1) OMNIPOTENCE, OMNISCIENCE, AND OMNIPRESENCE ARE ATTRIBUTES OF THE DIVINE WISDOM FROM THE DIVINE LOVE.
That omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence are attributes of the Divine Wisdom from the Divine Love, but not of the Divine Love through the Divine Wisdom is an abstruse heavenly truth (arcanum) which has yet entered the mind of any one, because no one has hitherto known what love is in its essence, and what wisdom is in its essence, and still less concerning the influx of the one into the other. For love with all that pertains to it flows into wisdom and there abides, like a king in his kingdom, or a master in his house, leaving to its judgment the whole direction of justice, and since justice is an attribute of love, and judgment of wisdom, leaving to wisdom the whole authority of love. This truth will be made clear in what follows; in the meantime let it stand as a general principle. That God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent by means of the wisdom of His Love is meant by these words in John:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men... The world was made by Him:... and the Word was made flesh" 1:1, 3-4, 10, 14.
By the Word is there meant Divine Truth, or, what amounts to the same, Divine Wisdom. Therefore also it is called life and light, and life and light are nothing but wisdom.
50. I. QUOD DIVINAE SAPIENTIAE EX DIVINO AMORE SIT OMNIPOTENTIA, OMNISCIENTIA, ET OMNIPRAESENTIA. Quod Divinae Sapientiae ex Divino amore sit Omnipotentia, Omniscientia et Omnipraesentia, non autem Divino Amori per Divinam Sapientiam, est Arcanum e Coelo, quod nondum in alicujus 1 intellectu illuxit, quia nullus adhuc scivit, quid Amor in sua essentia, et quid Sapientia inde in sua, et minus adhuc de influxu unius in alterum, qui est quod Amor cum omnibus et singulis sui influat in Sapientiam, et in hac resideat sicut Rex in suo Regno, aut sicut herus in 2 sua domo, ac omne regimen justitiae relinquat suo judicio, et quia justitia est amoris, et judicium est sapientiae, omne regimen amoris relinquat suae sapientiae: sed hoc Arcanum foenerabitur lucem in sequentibus, interea inserviat hoc ut canon. Quod Deus Omnipotens, Omniscius, et Omnipraesens sit per Sapientiam amoris sui, intelligitur etiam per haec apud Johannem, "In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum; omnia per Ipsum facta sunt, et sine Ipso factum est nihil quod factum est. In Ipso vita erat, et Vita erat Lux hominum; et Mundus per Ipsum factus est: et Verbum Caro factum est." 1:1, 3-4, 10, 14; per Verbum ibi intelligitur Divinum Verum, seu quod in idem recidit, Divina Sapientia, quare etiam vocatur Vita et Lux, ac Vita et Lux non aliud sunt quam Sapientia.
