115 Then shall no man be able to have mercy on him that is cast in judgement, nor to thrust down him that has gotten the victory.
116 I answered then and said, this is my first and last saying, that it had been better that the earth had not given you Adam: or else, when it had given him, to have restrained him from sinning.
