The serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field.
Eve saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes,
and a tree desirable to make one wise,
She took of its fruit and ate.
The woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
Adam said –
I heard your voice
I was afraid
I was naked
I hid myself.
By one man’s disobedience, through one man sin entered the world and death trough sin.
I saw, I coveted, I took, and I hid was confession of Achan concerning his sin which caused defeat and death and judgement.
All that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life –
Is of the world that is passing away.
Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.
When desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full- grown ,brings forth death .
It is written –
There is none righteous, no, not one;
There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.
Their throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit,
The poison of asps is under their lips,
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
Their feet are swift to shed blood;
Destruction and misery are in their ways;
And the way of peace they have not known.
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
I know in me dwells nothing good.
O wretched man that I am!
Who will deliver me?
THANK GOD – LORD JESUS CHRIST CAN.
