AC.338, 창4:1, '아담이 그의 아내 하와와 동침하매' (AC.338-340)

1절, 아담이 그의 아내 하와와 동침하매 하와가 임신하여 가인을 낳고 이르되 내가 여호와로 말미암아 득남하였다 하니라 And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man [vir], Jehovah.

 

338

By the “man and Eve his wife” is signified the most ancient church, as has been made known; its first offspring, or firstborn, is faith, which is here called “Cain”; her saying “I have gotten a man, Jehovah,” signifies that with those called “Cain,” faith was recognized and acknowledged as a thing by itself.
