4996. 'In that you are his wife' means because this truth must not be joined to any other good. This is clear from the meaning of 'wife' as truth wedded to its own good, dealt with in 1468, 2517, 3236, 4510, 4823, in this case unspiritual natural truth wedded to unspiritual natural good, as above in 4988.
