^47 117 For what good is it to all that they live in sorrow now and expect punishment after death? ^48 118 O Adam, what have you done? For though it was you who sinned, the fall was not yours alone, but ours also who are your descendants. ^49 119 For what good is it to us, if an immortal time has been promised to us, but we have done deeds that bring death?
