God's admonition to Adam and Eve in which he points out how and why they sinned.BUT God looked upon them; for they had killed themselves through great grief.2 But He would raise them and comfort them.3 He, therefore, sent His Word unto them; that they should stand and be raised forthwith.4 And the Lord said unto Adam and Eve, "You transgressed of your own free will, until you came out of the garden in which I had placed you.5 "Of your own free will have you transgressed through your desire for divinity, greatness, and an exalted state, such as I have; so that I deprived you of the bright nature in which you then were, and I made you come out of the garden to this land, rough and full of trouble.6 "If only you had not transgressed My commandment and had kept My law, and had not eaten of the fruit of the tree, near which I told you not to come! And there were fruit trees in the garden better than that one.7 "But the wicked Satan who continued not in his first estate, nor kept his faith; in whom was no good intent towards Me, and who though I had created him, yet set Me at naught, and sought the Godhead, so that I hurled him down from heaven,--he it is who made the tree appear pleasant in your eyes, until you ate of it, by hearkening to him.8 "Thus have you transgressed My commandment, and therefore have I brought upon you all these sorrows.9 "For I am God the Creator, who, when I created My creatures, did not intend to destroy them. But after they had sorely roused My anger, I punished them with grievous plagues, until they repent.10 "But, if on the contrary, they still continue hardened in their transgression, they shall be under a curse for ever."
