፳፮ እናም አሁን እነሆ፣ የመጀመሪያ ወላጆቻችን ሄደውና ሀየህይወት ዛፍን መመገብ ቢችሉ ኖሮ የሚዘጋጁበት ሁኔታ ሳይኖራቸው ለዘለዓለም ደስታ የሌላቸው በሆኑ ነበር፤ እናም ለየቤዛነት ዕቅድም በከሸፈና የእግዚአብሔር ቃል ውጤት ሳይኖረው ዋጋ የሌለው በሆነም ነበር።
26 And now behold, if it were possible that our first parents could have gone forth and partaken of the tree of life they would have been forever miserable, having no preparatory state; and thus the plan of redemption would have been frustrated, and the word of God would have been void, taking none effect.
