All Things Are Created by God

Greetings, everyone! Let's study Genesis Chapter 3. I must have lectured on this chapter no less than six or seven hundred times. But as I prepared to lead everyone through Genesis Chapter 3 again, I realized that I didn't seem to have hit the mark before. We used to say that the knowledge of good and evil is the root of all problems, but it seems to be only a part of this chapter. I want to share a very important concept with you: disobeying God's word will be cursed, which is also the theme of this chapter. There is a passage in the Bible that speaks particularly well, explaining that everything is created by God.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” (Genesis 3:1)

I am surprised: God created a whole bunch of devils, and also created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the middle of the garden, what is He going to do? This is very interesting. If God didn't create this serpent, nor the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, wouldn't this be a very beautiful story? There would be no disobedience to God's word, and no so-called curse. How wonderful this world would be. However, God did not do this. God created other wild animals besides the serpent. Because when I was doing healing and deliverance, I found that in addition to the serpent, there are many kinds of evil spirits, which is very interesting.

These various evil spirits all carry the appearance of various living creatures, such as foxes, weasels... Isn't this interesting! Some people ask me: Where are the weasels in the Bible? Doesn't Genesis Chapter 3 talk about all the other living creatures besides the serpent? Some people may not need a serpent to tempt them, a small weasel will take them down. Many times I feel that many people don't need a big demon to come out, a small one can take them down.

God created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and also created a lot of these wild animals, and then they can actually speak. What exactly is God going to create these for? Originally, what God wanted were victorious people. Chinese Mingding Destiny doesn't particularly emphasize such a statement: Oh, I am saved; oh, I believe in Jesus and am saved, and I will go to heaven when I die. I don't even need this serpent, a small weasel, or even a small mouse can take him down. In fact, what God wants is victory, but Adam and Eve did not win. But their defeat does not mean that everyone is defeated, because Chinese Mingding Destiny values victory very much. Among the descendants of Adam and Eve, there is actually this small group of us.

You will find that we don't say things like: Oh, I am saved, I was baptized and saved in 2012! Oh! I was saved in 2014, you are two years earlier than me! What we talk about is whether we have won or not. In fact, God's purpose was originally like this: disobeying God's word will be cursed. We say that the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, whether it is an apple or a pear, no one can say for sure. If what God created was not the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but another tree, and God said you can't eat it, but you insist on eating it, the result is the same. As long as you disobey God's word, you will be cursed. What to do? If we don't disobey God's word, won't we win?

So, the first point is that all things are created by God. You can't say: God! Why did you create this? Actually, it's not up to us to ask. I have a logic inside: What qualifications do I have to ask God why He did this? If I ask this way, I feel very ignorant. I still come back to a fundamental: Let's do what we can. If we can win, won't it be over? As long as we don't disobey God's word, and keep and follow it, we will win.

We in Chinese Mingding Destiny distinguish very clearly that there are two kinds of people in the world: one is the cursed person, and the other is the blessed person. You choose to be a blessed person, or choose to be a cursed person, choose for yourself! I just think there are so many silly people who have to choose the curse, as if they would be letting themselves down if they didn't choose the curse. To what extent are some people cursed? They get cancer, and then undergo chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and then have artificial anal fistulas or other things done. As a result, after all the tossing and turning, they still refuse to change, or they have changed a little, but the thing in their bones is too evil.

These people will say: I really need your understanding! I say: Yes, I can understand. However, what I understand is that disobeying God's word will be cursed. Can we not disobey God's word and follow God's word! So, the second point is that disobeying God's word will be cursed. In fact, the reason you give is not important, what is important is whether you keep and follow God's word.

Disobeying God's Word Will Be Cursed

If you disobey God's word, you will be cursed. This is like God testing Adam and Eve, and they still ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, so the curse came in. Looking around, we will find that there are many living creatures like snakes that God has created, such as weasels, snakes, little foxes, and various earthworms, worms of hell, little crabs, and so on. Keeping and following God's word will surely be blessed, and not keeping and following God's word will surely be cursed. These are the two basic dichotomies of Chinese Mingding Destiny. In fact, God's requirements for people are also very simple: first, love God, and second, love your neighbor as yourself.

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:36-40)

If you carefully go back to the Bible to read, you will find that people easily find many reasons for themselves, and do not repent after sinning and disobeying God's word. How much sin do people have to suffer before they learn to repent? So we brothers and sisters must remember that the curse comes from God. God doesn't really care about one death after another, God really doesn't care how many people die, but God only cares about one thing, that is, God's people enter God's kingdom. As for whether you can enter God's kingdom and become God's people, it depends on whether you keep and follow this greatest commandment, which is to love God and love your neighbor as yourself.

When we read the Book of Samuel, we will find that people like Saul pay great attention to sacrifices, but how can sacrifices be compared with listening to and obeying God's word? Even if Saul was the king of Israel chosen by God, God later sent an evil spirit to disturb Saul. If doing God's people reaches this point, it is really a tragedy. Once, I told someone that curses come from God, but he didn't think so. I don't know how he read the Bible, he didn't even know this. The Bible says very bluntly that disobeying God's word will be cursed.

If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy 28:1-2)

However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you. (Deuteronomy 28:15)

But looking around now, there are a lot of Christians who disobey God's word, because many of the things preached and promoted by many churches cannot be found in the Bible. If you have found them, please come and tell me, that is also a good edification for me, but if not, then people are replacing God's word with their own words, then they will obviously be cursed. Chinese Mingding Destiny is very sure of one thing, that is, disobeying God's word will be cursed. You can give me ten guts, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense, because it would be disobeying God's word. If you come among us to listen to my sermons, and after a long time you go out to listen to what others say, you will find that you can't listen anymore, because you will easily find that many of the doctrines preached by other churches have no biblical basis, you can discern that this has no basis and that has no basis, but my sermons are definitely based on the Bible.

Some churches are very afraid of Eastern Lightning and Jehovah's Witnesses mixing into their churches, because these people are more familiar with the Bible than the people in their own churches. If these people mix into our church, I am still very confident, because they definitely can't read the Bible more than me, I read the Bible very well. If he comes to chat with me, he will contradict himself as he speaks, his set will definitely not stand. Therefore, Chinese Mingding Destiny values God's word very much, because we deeply know that disobeying God's word will be cursed.

I know that many of the concepts I talk about will definitely conflict with our own inherent concepts, but that does not mean that what I say is not God's word. If what I say does not conform to the Bible, you can come and tell me, I will definitely correct it, because disobeying God's word will be cursed. If you look at many churches today with this concept, you will be very clear that if they are cursed, it is because they have disobeyed God's word.

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! (Galatians 1:6-8)

If you find that a certain pastor seems to love God very much, but he has cancer, you can seriously investigate what he preaches, and you will find that many are not God's word. Whether it is the Gospel of Matthew written by Matthew, or the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation written by old John later, if you add to or subtract from the gospel, you will be cursed. Now many people believe in the wrong gospel and preach the wrong gospel, then they will be cursed, this is what Paul said, so I really want to correct everyone from the wrong gospel.

The Essence of Knowing Good and Evil

The essence of knowing good and evil is reflected in the matter of disobeying God's word. When I deeply excavated the essence of knowing good and evil, I discovered very interesting things. I want to tell our brothers and sisters first, you don't even have the qualifications to know good and evil, this is not "very insulting", but the truth.

“You will certainly not die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:4-5)

This sentence is not a lie, this sentence is absolutely true, I didn't understand this sentence before.

And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” (Genesis 3:22)

After they ate it, their eyes really brightened, and the Lord God said that they are now like us and can know good and evil. This demon did not tell a lie, it told the truth. But whether it tells the truth, or reality, or truth, if it disobeys God's word, it will still be cursed. Why do I say you don't even have the qualifications to know good and evil? Because what you are talking about is not even the truth.

Some time ago, I was ministering to a sister, she hated her mother so much, she said her mother wanted a million from her. Since this sister got cancer, her mother has already paid hundreds of thousands for her treatment, and that money was all paid by her mother. Her mother got angry and said an angry word, and she forgot all the good things her mother had done for her. Her mother has already paid hundreds of thousands for her, and as a result, she came to the conclusion that her mother wanted a million from her. Is this the truth? No! This sister really doesn't even have the qualifications to know good and evil.

Later I discovered what knowing good and evil is, it is actually like Joseph, who was really sold to Egypt, really wanted his life, wanted to destroy his future, in such a situation, Joseph did not know good and evil. Later I discovered that when many of the people I pastor know good and evil with me, they say to me: I have to imitate Joseph. I said: Do you have the qualifications to imitate Joseph? Joseph was sold to Egypt! What are you imitating? You haven't been sold to Egypt yet, I just want to edify you, and you know good and evil with me, you don't even have the qualifications to imitate Joseph! It's like the devil said: When you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. This is true, but it still disobeys God's word. When you tell me that these are all facts, actually many times they are not facts, our pastors have not yet sold the people they pastor to Egypt! Many times are our thoughts a bit biased?

When I led everyone to study the Book of 1 Samuel, I discovered a very magical thing. When we read about Jezebel, I found that Jezebel was very great, she was a very smart and tolerant woman, she managed her family very well. In Ahab's eyes, she was definitely a wise woman, very different from the image I used to hear. The image I used to hear was like a face full of flesh controlling her husband's pastor's wife, later I found that that image was not Jezebel, if you want to be like Jezebel, then you have to be very smart.

If you want to truly know good and evil, your head has to be good. Even if what happened to you is a fact, you have to remember that disobeying God's word will be cursed. Later I discovered that these all have reasons, just like the serpent created by God, it is more cunning than all the other living creatures, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil created by God still bears fruit, these are all very good. The essence of knowing good and evil is that even if it is a fact, if it disobeys God's word, it will still be cursed. If it is not a fact, and you still disobey God's word, then your head is not good. I often say a sentence: What kind of brain is that! You need to go back and read elementary school!

Joseph being sold to Egypt is true, if Joseph knew good and evil, there is a reason, we slowly and carefully ponder it. The serpent tempted Eve, and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Eve tempted Adam, and Adam ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. If you want to find reasons, these reasons can be found. If you want to find reasons, this is called knowing good and evil. Once it is a fact, then it is called having the qualifications to know good and evil, once there is a reason, then it is called having the qualifications to know good and evil. If there are not even facts, and they are all wild thoughts in your head, then it is all caused by a bad head! A bad head is really deadly!

The woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, this is really the case. The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is delicious and beautiful, looks lovely, and eating it also gives wisdom, and can know good and evil. What exactly is the essence of knowing good and evil? The essence of knowing good and evil is like I talk about Jezebel, you really have to have the qualifications to do it. But many people's knowing good and evil may not be called knowing good and evil, it is called doing evil.

If these are all facts, the fruit is also beautiful, the fruit is also delicious, the fruit looks very lovely, and after eating it, it also makes people wise, after eating it, the eyes will be bright, and after eating it, they can know good and evil like God, even so, disobeying God's word is still cursed. If the thing you eat is not good, and it is not delicious, and after eating it, you become stupid, this is obviously very stupid, and you still say you know good and evil, I think that is far from knowing good and evil. What I mean is, we have to know what knowing good and evil is, that thing of yours is not knowing good and evil, that thing of yours is being stupid.

The Reaction to the Curse

If you are not qualified to discern good and evil, and you still disobey God's word and are cursed, then your reaction to the curse will be the same as Adam and Eve's reaction after eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The first reaction to the curse is fear. Are there any among us who are fearful? If you say you are afraid of cockroaches, or have trypophobia, and have an uncomfortable reaction when you see them, that is a curse. If people have a sense of shame, and women have diseases of the reproductive system, such as menstrual pain and other diseases related to the reproductive system, that is a curse. As a man, if you work very hard, that is also a curse. After being cursed, the land will not produce, and no matter what you do, it will be very hard, all of which are reactions to the curse. There are also some people who eat without tasting anything, as if eating dirt, that is also a curse.

Everyone should begin to have some understanding of the reactions to the curse. Those reactions to the curse are not necessarily because of discerning good and evil, but actually because of disobeying God's word. When a person is cursed, no matter what the reason, there will definitely be a feeling of fear or shame inside. When they look at things, they will see bad things. People's labor will be very hard, and women will also have problems with their reproductive systems.

And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: (Genesis 3:14)

The eating of dust here means eating without tasting anything.

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. (Genesis 3:15-16)

Once a person is cursed, they will live in control and dominion, and feel uncomfortable for no reason.

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Genesis 3:17-19)

How exactly does a curse operate? If things go badly, that is a curse, but what exactly did you do to be cursed? Later, in my research, I discovered that as long as there are demons involved in what you do, things will always go badly. When you do something, the demons will come to make trouble, which is being cursed. Someone brought a Christian friend to my office, and I saw twenty or thirty demons following behind him. The bigger one was closely following him, arranged in order from large to small, like dragging a long tail. The last small one was like a mouse. I blinked and looked carefully, and it was a vision.

Some people are surprised that I can see it, but that is not important. I asked the person who brought him if he often had bad luck in everything he did. The person who brought him said yes, and asked how I knew. I said I had a sixth sense, that it was bad luck following him. Later, I discovered that many people have bad luck because demons are with them. If demons are always with him, wouldn't his life be tragic? And the reason why demons are with him is because the person is cursed. The reason why he is cursed is because he disobeyed God's word, and the demons did those things, making the person very miserable.

What we Chinese Mingding Destiny emphasizes is overcoming these things. It doesn't matter whether what you are experiencing is true or not! What is important is that you cannot disobey God's word. It doesn't matter whether that thing is the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or something else, and no matter how delicious it looks, if God says you cannot eat it, then you cannot eat it. The logic of Chinese Mingding Destiny is very simple: what God tells us not to do, we must not do. What God says we must do, we must do. To those who come to Chinese Mingding Destiny, listen carefully to my advice: if you are so careful to keep and follow God's word, it will be difficult not to be blessed by God.

No matter what, people cannot disobey God's word. We do what God says. But today's church is very strange. I told a Christian that Chinese Mingding Destiny pursues being like Jesus, and he said it was impossible. Because they simply do not believe that they can be like Jesus. But if he does not pursue being like Jesus, then what does he want to be like? Perhaps like the devil? Carefully keeping and following will surely be blessed. Not carefully keeping and following will surely be cursed. After being cursed, there will definitely be reactions to the curse.

Therefore, Chinese Mingding Destiny encourages brothers and sisters to carefully keep and follow God's word. That is to say, you cannot not carefully keep and follow. It is not that I will carefully keep and follow when there is a reason, and I will not carefully keep and follow when there is no reason. Are you going to tell God your reasons? Later, I also discovered that the reaction to blessing is that God is with you. No matter what you do, God is with you. Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt, which is indeed what happened. Later, being imprisoned was also true, but Joseph was too powerful. He did not discern good and evil.

What is important is that he believed that being imprisoned and being a slave did not matter. What was important was that he could not disobey God's word and could not do what was evil in God's eyes. I want to be with God, and as a result, God was with him. He was the best slave when he was a slave, and he was the best prisoner when he was a prisoner. Actually, the environment is not important. What is important is whether you have God's presence. Many times, people disobey God's word even though they are not qualified to disobey it. If they were qualified, to what extent would they disobey?

Curse and Death

The curse is very powerful. But here is the problem: After Eve ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, she did not die immediately. She may have even said to Adam: Look, after eating it, I didn't die, it's quite good. You eat it too, take a bite. The following content also mentions that Adam lived for more than nine hundred years, a long life. Some people think that a hundred years is not enough, a thousand years is not enough, and they often shout: ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years! But have you seen anyone live to ten thousand years? Actually, no one has lived to ten thousand years, at most they have lived to a hundred or so years.

The problem is that Eve felt it was quite delicious after eating it, and she didn't die, so she gave it to Adam to eat. It's just like when we usually disobey God's word, thinking that it's okay to sin. Yesterday I just disobeyed God, and today I'm still fine, nothing happened, I'm still doing well. Actually, after eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, death entered into people. But death needs time to manifest itself, just like when you plant something, it needs time to grow. In the previous chapter, we talked about God creating seeds. When you plant it, it is a seed of death. After the seed of death sprouts, you basically have no room to maneuver.

The seeds that were planted in the past years, swallow them today. Today they bear fruit. What kind of fruit do they bear? They bear cancer and pain. We must have an understanding of God's word inside. Some people say: Teacher, you have to understand me, don't always say that to me in the future! I said, look, you have time for chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but you don't have time to read God's word. You want me to understand you, but I just don't understand. When people didn't know God in the past, they disobeyed God's word and were cursed. Don't they need to make up for these words today? Is it that difficult to make up for them? Actually, it's not that difficult.

The curse and death are like planting a seed. By the time it bears fruit, you basically have no room to maneuver. Perhaps you repent, and God will give you another chance. But if people are stiff-necked and ask me to understand you, okay, I understand you, but can that solve the problem? I understand you, everyone understands you, but if God doesn't understand you, isn't that a waste? Disobeying God's word will surely be cursed, and after being cursed, there will surely be death! Although there is still some time before death, that time is for you to repent properly. If you still don't repent properly during this time and continue to run towards death, isn't that troublesome? Once a person runs into death, they lose the qualification to eat the fruit of the tree of life.

Do you know what death is? It is the spirit that gives life! If the spirit is dead, what else can live on? It's just an extension of time. That's why the Christian faith is built on the foundation of God's word. We Chinese Mingding Destiny value God's word very much. Why? Because disobeying God's word will surely be cursed, and disobeying God's word will surely bear the fruit of death! Then you must study hard, right?

If you want to live, you must know what living is all about. It's useless for me to understand you, it's useless for everyone to understand you. As long as God doesn't understand you, everything is over. Do you think living this life is not a tragedy? Can you understand? Perhaps you understand, and today you still have a chance to repent. Perhaps you understand, and today you can still have a glimmer of hope. Don't continue to walk on the path of disobeying God's word, don't continue to walk on the path of willfulness.

Therefore, the serpent said to the woman: You will not surely die. This is a lie, you will definitely die! The others are half true and half false. Disobeying God's word will surely be cursed. That's why Jesus Christ indeed bore our curses and carried our sorrows, because he bore them when we didn't know in the past. Now that we know and recognize Jesus Christ, if we still deliberately disobey God's word, then who will bear it for you? You can bear it yourself slowly. That's why it is very serious and even more fatal when Christians have problems. Today, can everyone deeply remember this sentence: Disobeying God's word will surely be cursed!

God has said so much to us, you must receive it well, and keep and follow it as you receive it. Actually, God doesn't care at all if Adam dies. You are dust, so return to dust. Originally you were just a pile of fertilizer, so it's okay if you die. Do you think God cares? God really doesn't care. One group after another rushes to death. Let them rush. God really doesn't care. Later, on the road to God saving Israel out of Egypt, one group after another also died. Those were deaths of thousands upon thousands. Do you think God cares? It's just dust.

What does God care about? God cares about a group of victorious people, a group of people who carefully keep and follow his word and love God wholeheartedly. God will surely bring them to the promised land! Perhaps you think you are very important, but as long as God thinks you are not important, it doesn't matter how important you think you are. Do you understand what I'm saying? So let's draw a line, from disobeying God's word to carefully keeping and following God's word. I haven't talked enough about discerning good and evil, but I have talked too much about disobeying God's word. Even if you are qualified to disobey God's word, you still cannot disobey it. Then if you are not qualified, shouldn't you be even more careful to keep and follow it?

May God bless everyone!

Genesis Chapter 3 Scripture

3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
3:8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
3:9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
3:13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
3:14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
3:22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
3:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
