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.
8 Thus have you transgressed My commandment, and
therefore I have brought on 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 forever."
