2140. Third the chapter deals with the Lord's grief and anguish over the human race because it was steeped so much in self-love and therefore in the desire to exercise control over others from what is evil and false. In that state He interceded for the human race and secured salvation for those with whom goods and truths would be present. But who these are is indicated by the numbers of the righteous that are given.
