906. 'You and your wife' means the Church. This similarly becomes clear from the train of thought, as does 'your sons and your sons with you', which means truths, and goods joined to truths, residing with him. 'You', it is evident, means the member of the Church; and the fact that 'wife' means the Church, 'sons' truths, and 'sons' wives' goods joined to truths has been shown in several places already, and so there is no need to pause over them here.
