Aye, but thou, O man, who art thou that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

my children, of whom I again travail in birth until Christ shall have been formed in you:

namely your having put off according to the former conversation the old man which corrupts itself according to the deceitful lusts;

for Adam was formed first, then Eve:

as children of obedience, not conformed to your former lusts in your ignorance;

for he with whom these things are not present is blind, short-sighted, and has forgotten the purging of his former sins.

And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.
