429. (5) Thus licentious love is opposed to conjugial love as hell is opposed to heaven. All who are in hell dwell in the connubial alliance of evil and falsity, while all who are in heaven dwell in the marriage of good and truth. And because the connubial alliance of evil and falsity is also a state of adultery, as shown just above (nos. 427, 428), so hell is a state of adultery, too. For that reason, all there are immersed in the lust, lasciviousness, and wantonness of licentious love, and they flee from and abhor the chaste and modest qualities of conjugial love (see above, no. 425). It can be seen from this that these two loves, licentious love and conjugial love, are opposed to each other as hell is to heaven and heaven to hell.
