...Knowing that your sin is his comfort...


Chapter XVII: Suggestions of the Old Serpent

"Above all, therefore, you ought to understand the deception of the old serpent and his cunning suggestions, who deceives you as if it were by prudence, and as by a sort of reason creeps through your senses; and beginning at the head, he glides through your inner marrow, accounting the deceiving of you a great gain. Therefore he insinuates into your minds opinions of elohim of whatsoever kinds, only that he may withdraw you from the faith of YHWH Elohim, knowing that your sin is his comfort. For he, for his immorality, was condemned from the beginning to eat dust, for that he caused to be again resolved into dust him who had been taken from the dust, even till the time when your beings will be restored, being brought through the fire; as we will instruct you more fully at another time. From him, therefore, proceed all the errors and doubts, by which you are driven from the faith and belief of one elohim.
