1And I cried out in that very hour, 'Adam, Adam, where art thou? Rise up, come to me and
2I will show thee a great secret." But when your father came, I spake to him words of transgression
3[which have brought us down from our great glory]. For, when he came, I opened my mouth and the devil was speaking, and I began to exhort him and said, "Come hither, my lord Adam, hearken to me and eat of the fruit of the tree of which God told us not to eat of it, and thou shalt be as
4a God." And your father answered and said, "I fear lest God be wroth with me." And I said to
5him, "Fear not, for as soon as thou hast eaten thou shalt know good and evil." And speedily I persuaded him, and he ate and straightway his eyes were opened and he too knew his nakedness.
6And to me he saith, "O wicked woman! what have I done to thee that thou hast deprived me of the glory of God?"
