Correspondences in the Word (1345 [CL 127, 515, 532]).

Respecting the correspondence of the marriage of the Lord and the church with marriages in the heavens and on earth (1345-1358 [CL 125-127]).

There is not any correspondence of the marriage of the Lord and the church with the marriages of the angels and of men (1347 [CL 125, 126]).

There is a correspondence of conjugial things in angels and men [which are conjugial love, chastity, seminal potency, prolification, parental love, and the things pertaining to these], with the truths and goods of the church (1348-1350 [CL 127]).

There is correspondence of conjugial love with the marriage of good and truth, from which marriage the church is the church (1351-1353 [CL 62, 122-124, 127, 518]).

There is correspondence of conjugial chastity with genuine truths from the Word (1354-1356 [CL 127]).

There is correspondence of seminal potency with the reception of spiritual truths from the Lord through the Word, and with the affection for propagating them; thus with the spiritual affection of truth and at the same time with use (1357-1360 [CL 127, 230, 433]).

The correspondence of spiritual prolification is with the love of producing, and in the state of creation of conserving the truths and goods of the church (1361, 1362 [CL 115, 127]). The correspondence of parental love is with the love of innocence and of protecting it from evils and falsities (1363 [CL 127, 395e]).

There is the correspondence of these conjugial things in marriages of one man with one wife, thus with those who are in the marriage of good and truth from the Lord (1364).

With those who are polygamists from religion, the correspondence of these conjugial things is a remote correspondence; but with polygamists in Christendom the correspondence is with the falsities and evils of hell (1365, 1366).

The correspondence of these conjugial things with those who have confirmed falsities of faith, is with the evils and falsities of hell (1367, 1368).

So, too, with those who are in evils of life (1389-1393).

With those who are in diverse religions, there is not correspondence with goods and truths (1394, 1395).

The correspondence of good and truth cannot be given with those who are in the love of self and in the pride of their own intelligence (1396-1398).

Whoredoms in general correspond to the falsifications of the truth and the profanations of the good of the church from the Word (1399-1403 [CL 515-520]). Heinous adulteries within the prohibited degrees correspond to certain heresies confirmed by the Word (1405-1457 [CL 519]).

There is a correspondence of spiritual marriage, or that of truth and good, with the actual marriage of men, that is, of husband and wife (1952-1954 [CL 520]).

Violation of spiritual marriage therefore corresponds to violation of the marriages of men (1955-1958 [CL 515-520]).

Hence it follows that to violate the truths of the Word and the church by falsifying them, is to commit whoredom spiritually; and that to violate the goods of the Word and the church by perverting them, is to commit adultery spiritually (1959-1962 [CL 518]).

They, therefore, who are in spiritual whoredom and adultery are also in actual natural whoredom and adultery; the converse also is true (1963-1969 [CL 520]).

Spiritual marriage is violated when the truth of the church is separated from its good, and when its good is separated from its truth (1970-1976 [CL 519]).

Spiritual marriage is violated when appearances of truth, in the Word, are taken for genuine truths and are confirmed (1977-1979). Spiritual marriage is violated by those who with the lips make profession of another church than that which they acknowledge in heart; and it is very greatly violated by those who in heart acknowledge no church (1980-1982).

Spiritual marriage is violated by those who learn the truths of doctrine from the Word but live wickedly; also by those who are devout in worship but do not reflect at all on their lives (1983-1987).

Spiritual marriage is violated by those who study the sense of the letter alone, without doctrine (1988-1991).

The marriage of good and truth is violated when the Word is read for various ends, and not at the same time read for the sake of the knowledges of good and truth (1992-1994).
