Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 7697

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7697. And now forgive I pray my sin only this once. That this signifies that they should not regard the disobedience, is evident from the signification of "forgiving," as being not to regard, for to forgive is not to regard anyone from evil but from good; and from the signification of "sin," as being disobedience (as just above, n. 7696).
