³ And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat `a son' in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

²⁵ And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth. For, `said she', God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him.

³ among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:--

³⁹ All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one `flesh' of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.

¹² Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:--

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

³⁵ And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.

⁵ Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.

² Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

³ They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

⁴ How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

¹⁴ What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

¹⁵ Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones; Yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight:

¹⁶ How much less one that is abominable and corrupt, A man that drinketh iniquity like water!

⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
