1 Adam and Eve Chapter 57
The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan


1 Adam and Eve 57:1

But when Adam came out and saw his hideous figure, he was afraid of him, and said to him, "Who are you?"

1 Adam and Eve 57:2

Then Satan answered and said to him, "It is I, who hid myself within the serpent, and who spoke to Eve, and who enticed her until she obeyed my command. I am he who sent her, using my deceitful speech, to deceive you, until you both ate of the fruit of the tree and abandoned the command of God."

1 Adam and Eve 57:3

But when Adam heard these words from him, he said to him, "Can you make me a garden as God made for me? Or can you clothe me in the same bright nature in which God had clothed me?

1 Adam and Eve 57:4

Where is the divine nature you promised to give me? Where is that slick speech of yours that you had with us at first, when we were in the garden?"

1 Adam and Eve 57:5

Then Satan said to Adam, "Do you think that when I have promised one something that I would actually deliver it to him or fulfil my word? Of course not. For I myself have never even thought of obtaining what I promised.

1 Adam and Eve 57:6

Therefore I fell, and I made you fall by that for which I myself fell; and with you also, whosoever accepts my counsel, falls thereby.

1 Adam and Eve 57:7

But now, O Adam, because you fell you are under my rule, and I am king over you; because you have obeyed me and have transgressed against your God. Neither will there be any deliverance from my hands until the day promised you by your God."


1 Adam and Eve 57:8

Again he said, "Because we do not know the day agreed on with you by your God, nor the hour in which you shall be delivered, for that reason we will multiply war and murder on you and your descendants after you.

1 Adam and Eve 57:9

This is our will and our good pleasure, that we may not leave one of the sons of men to inherit our orders in heaven.

1 Adam and Eve 57:10

For as to our home, O Adam, it is in burning fire; and we will not stop our evil doing, no, not one day nor one hour. And I, O Adam, shall set you on fire when you come into the cave to live there."

1 Adam and Eve 57:11

When Adam heard these words he cried and mourned, and said to Eve, "Hear what he said; that he won't fulfil any of what he told you in the garden. Did he really then become king over us?

1 Adam and Eve 57:12

But we will ask God, who created us, to deliver us out of his hands."

Bible Verses About Love

Let us love one another, for love comes from God and every one who loves is a child of God and knows God. He who loves not man does not know God, for God is love. God showed his love for us, for he sent his only Son into the world that through him we might have life. Love the stranger.


In Mark 12:30 Jesus said; And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment.

And the second Mark 12:31 [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
