8895. 'And sanctified it' means that in no way can it be violated This is clear from the meaning of 'sanctifying' or 'keeping holy' - when it refers to the heavenly marriage with the person who has been regenerated - as that which is inviolable, dealt with above in 8887 For what is holy and the Lord's with a person cannot be violated, nor accordingly can the person who receives what is holy and the Lord's be violated, that is, with whom the good of love exists and who is therefore in heaven.
