1 But God looked at them; for they had killed
themselves through great grief.

2 But He decided to raise them and comfort them.

3 He, therefore, sent His Word to them; that they
should stand and be raised immediately.

4 And the Lord said to 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
which I told you not to come near! And there were fruit
trees in the garden better than that one.

7 But the wicked Satan did not keep his faith and had
no good intent towards Me, that although I had created him,
he considered Me to be useless, and sought the Godhead for
himself; for this I hurled him down from heaven so that he
could not remain in his first estate -- it was he who made
the tree appear pleasant in your eyes, until you ate of it,
by believing his words.
