And if it had not been for God's
strength that was with us, we could not have prevailed
against him to hurl him from heaven.
13 But when he fell from among us, there was great joy
in heaven, because of his going down from us. For if he
had remained in heaven, nothing, not even one angel would
have remained in it.
14 But God in His mercy, drove him from among us to
this dark earth; for he had become darkness itself and a
worker of unrighteousness.
15 And he has continued, O Adam, to make war against
you, until he tricked you and made you come out of the
garden, to this strange land, where all these trials have
come to you. And death, which God brought to him, he has
also brought to you, O Adam, because you obeyed him, and
trespassed against God."
16 Then all the angels rejoiced and praised God, and
asked Him not to destroy Adam this time, for his having
sought to enter the garden; but to bear with him until the
fulfillment of the promise; and to help him in this world
until he was free from Satan's hand.
