AC.484, 창5:3, '아담은 백삼십 세에' (AC.481-485)

3절, 아담은 백삼십 세에 자기의 모양 곧 자기의 형상과 같은 아들을 낳아 이름을 셋이라 하였고 And man lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat into his likeness, after his image, and called his name Seth.

 

484

That the church called “Seth” was very nearly like the most ancient church is evident from its being said that the man begat in his likeness, according to his image, and called his name Seth; the term “likeness” having relation to faith, and “image” to love; for that this church was not like the most ancient church with regard to love and its derivative faith, is plain from its being said just before, “Male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name man,” by which is signified the spiritual man of the sixth day, as was said above, so that the likeness of this man was to the spiritual man of the sixth day, that is, love was not so much the principal, but still faith was conjoined with love.
