58. Chapter 58 [Isaiah] 1 The iniquity of the old church, which is to be disclosed. 2 2 They are as those who love truth, 2 3 and as those who are converted; 11 4 but their conversion originates in evil. 11 5, 6 Conversion does not consist in speaking in a devout manner, but in shunning evils, 11 7 and in exercising charity; 11 8-11 then they will have truths in abundance, and the Lord will be with them; 11 12 thus the church will be with them, and they will restore all things of the church. 11 13, 14 If they regard the union of the Lord with the church as holy, they will come into heaven. 11, 10
