218. The affection of man into which he is born, is from his father, because this is his soul. With men, when they are born, there is evil affection and lust, because such is the soul of the father. But with the Lord alone there was good affection from birth, because the soul from the Father was the Divine Itself, which is none other than the Love of Good and Good Itself. Then to Love, all Wisdom conjoins itself and all evil is expelled, for they [evil and love] cannot be as one. Wherefore the Lord made the Human Divine from the Divine in Himself.
