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.
117 For what profit is it for all that are in this present time to live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment?
118 O you Adam, what have you done? For though it was you that sinned, the evil is not fallen on you alone, but upon all of us that come of you.
119 For what profit is it to us, if there be promised us an immortal time, whereas we have done the works that bring death?
120 And that there is promised us an everlasting hope, whereas ourselves most miserably are become vain?
121 And that there are reserved habitations of health and safety, whereas we have lived wickedly?
