O that ye would awake; awake from a deep sleep,

ye say that he hath used sharpness;

of the word of God, which was in him;

and that which ye call anger was the truth,

according to that which is in God,

which he could not restrain,

manifesting boldly concerning your iniquities.

there be no happiness.

And if there be no righteousness nor happiness

there be no punishment nor misery.

And if these things are not

neither to act nor to be acted upon;

wherefore, all things must have vanished away.

Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die,

but ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.
