AC.341, 창4:2, '그가 또 가인의 아우 아벨을 낳았는데' (AC.341-345)

2절, 그가 또 가인의 아우 아벨을 낳았는데 아벨은 양 치는 자였고 가인은 농사하는 자였더라 And she added to bear his brother Abel; and Abel was a shepherd of the flock, and Cain was a tiller of the ground.

 

341

The second offspring of the church is charity, signified by “Abel” and “brother”; a “shepherd of the flock” denotes one who exercises the good of charity; and a “tiller of the ground,” is one who is devoid of charity, however much he may be in faith separated from love, which is no faith.
