¹² And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.

³³ If I kept my evil doings covered, and my sin in the secret of my breast,

¹³ Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:

¹⁴ But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

¹⁵ Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.

¹³ He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy.

¹⁸ And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be by himself: I will make one like himself as a help to him

³ Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.

²⁹ But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

³ By his foolish behaviour a man's ways are turned upside down, and his heart is bitter against the Lord.

²⁰ And Saul said, Truly, I have done the orders of the Lord and have gone the way the Lord sent me; I have taken Agag, the king of Amalek, and have given the Amalekites up to destruction.

²¹ But the people took some of their goods, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which were put to the curse, to make an offering of them to the Lord your God in Gilgal.

²² And Samuel said, Has the Lord as much delight in offerings and burned offerings as in the doing of his orders? Truly, to do his pleasure is better than to make offerings, and to give ear to him than the fat of sheep.

²³ For to go against his orders is like the sin of those who make use of secret arts, and pride is like giving worship to images. Because you have put away from you the word of the Lord, he has put you from your place as king.

²⁴ And Saul said to Samuel, Great is my sin: for I have gone against the orders of the Lord and against your words: because, fearing the people, I did what they said.

²¹ And Moses said to Aaron, What did the people do to you that you let this great sin come on them?

²² And Aaron said, Let not my lord be angry; you have seen how the purposes of this people are evil.

²³ For they said to me, Make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has come to him.

²⁴ Then I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let him take it off; so they gave it to me, and I put it in the fire, and this image of an ox came out.

²² And the bone which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and took her to the man.

²⁰ And the man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of the air and to every beast of the field; but Adam had no one like himself as a help.
