Concerning Sin, that is Evil. There are innumerable kinds of evil and falsity, nos. 1188, 1212, 4818, 4822, 7574. There is evil from falsity: there is falsity from evil, and there is evil and falsity from thence, nos. 1679, 2243, 4818. What the evil of falsity is and what its quality, nos. 2408, 4818, 7272, 8265, 8279. What the falsity of evil is, and what its quality, nos. 6359, 7272, 9304, 10302. Concerning evils by which a man incurs guilt, and concerning those by which he does not incur guilt, nos. 4171, 4172. Evils arising from the understanding, and evils arising from the will, no. 9009. The difference between prevarication, iniquity, and sin, nos. 6563, 9156. All evils adhere to a man, no. 2116. Evils cannot be taken away from a man; he can only be withheld from them and kept in good, nos. 866, 868, 887, 894, 1581, 4564, 8206, 8393, 8988, 9014, 9333, 9446-9448, 9451, 10057, 10109. The Lord alone causes a man to be withheld from evil, and kept in good, nos. 929, 2406, 8206, 10109. Thus only, are evils and sins removed, and this is brought about successively, nos. 9334-9336. This is done by the Lord through regeneration, nos. 9445, 9452-9454, 9938. Evils preclude the Lord's entrance, no. 5696. A man ought to abstain from evils in order to receive good from the Lord, no. 10109. Good and truth flow in, in the proportion in which there is an abstention from evils, nos. 2388, 2411, 10675. Being withheld from evil and kept in good is remission of sins, nos. 8391, 8393, 9014, 9444-9450. The signs whether sins are remitted or not, nos. 9449, 9450. The remission of sins consists in looking at things from good, and not from evil, no. 7697. Evil and sin are a separation and a turning away from the Lord; and this is signified by evil and sin in the Word, nos. 4997, 5229, 5474, 5746, 5841, 9346; they are also, and signify a separation and a turning away from good and truth, no. 7589; they are, and signify what is opposed to Divine order, nos. 4839, 5076. Evil means damnation and hell, nos. 3513, 6279, 7155. Unless it is known what evil is, it is not known what hell is, no. 7181. Evils are as it were heavy, and of themselves fall into hell; likewise falsities from evil, nos. 8279, 8298. Unless it is known what the love of self and the love of the world are, it is not known what evil is, nos. 4997, 7178, 8318. All evils are from those loves, nos. 1307, 1308, 1321, 1594, 1691, 3413, 7255, 7376, 7488, 7491, 8318, 9335, 9348, 10038, 10742. All men how many soever, are born into evils of every kind, so much so, indeed, that their Self (proprium) is nothing but evil, nos. 210, 215, 731, 874-876, 987, 1047, 2307, 2308, 3518, 3701, 3812, 8480, 8550, 10283, 10284, 10731. Wherefore a man must be born again, that is, regenerated in order to receive a life of good, no. 3701. A man casts himself into hell when he does evil from assent, afterwards from purpose, and at last from delight, no. 6203. They who are in the evil of life, are in the falsities of their own evil, whether they know it or not, nos. 7577, 8094. Evil would not be appropriated to a man, if he believed, as is really the case, that all evil is from hell, and all good from the Lord, nos. 4151, 6206, 6324, 6325. In the other life evils are removed from the good, and goods from the evil, no. 2256. All in the other life are let into their interiors; the evil, thus, are let into their evils, no. 8870. In the other life its own punishment is contained in evil, and its own reward in good, nos. 696, 967, 1857, 6559, 8214, 8223, 8226, 9048. In the other life a man does not suffer punishment for hereditary evils, because he is not to blame for them, but for his actual evils, nos. 966, 2308. The interiors of evil are foul and filthy, however differently they may appear in the outward form, no. 7046. Evil is attributed in the Word to the Lord, and yet nothing but good proceeds from Him, nos. 2447, 6071, 6991, 6997, 7533, 7632, 7677, 7926, 8227, 8228, 8632, 9306; likewise anger, nos. 5798, 6997, 8284, 8483, 9306, 10431. Why it is said so in the Word, nos. 6071, 6991, 6997, 7632, 7643, 7679, 7710, 7926, 8282, 9010, 9128. What is meant by bearing iniquity, when said of the Lord, nos. 9937, 9965. With the good who are infested and tempted, the Lord turns evil into good, no. 8631. Permission means leaving a man to do evil, according to his own freedom, no. 10778. Evils and falsities are ruled by the Lord through the laws of permission; and they are permitted for the sake of order, nos. 7877, 8700, 10778. The permission of evil by the Lord is not the permission of one who wills, but of one who does not will; but on account of the pressure of the end, no help can be brought, no. 7877.
