Subject — Adam and Fallen Man

6.     By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

9.     For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

6.     But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7.     And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8.     And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

21.     And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22.     And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23.     Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

1.     Exodus 20 : 1, 3, 4 (to 1st ,), 7 (to ;), 8, 12-17

1     And God spake all these words, saying,

3     Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4     Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,

7     Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain;

8     Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

12     Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

13     Thou shalt not kill.

14     Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15     Thou shalt not steal.

16     Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17     Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

2.     Deuteronomy 6 : 24, 25

24     And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

25     And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

3.     Genesis 4 : 1-13, 16

1     And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

2     And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

3     And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

4     And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

5     But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

6     And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

7     If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

8     And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

9     And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?

10     And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.

11     And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;

12     When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

13     And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

16     And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

4.     Ephesians 5 : 1, 2 (to 2nd ,), 5, 7, 8

1     Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

2     And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,

5     For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

7     Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

8     For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

5. I Corinthians 15 : 22

22     For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

7.     Matthew 5 : 1, 2, 21-24, 38-41

1     And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2     And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

21     Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

22     But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

23     Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

24     Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

38     Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39     But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

40     And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

41     And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

8.     Matthew 7 : 12

12     Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
