"

14 " when the serpent breathed the poison of his pride, the desire to be as God, into the hearts of our first parents, that they too fell from their high estate into all the wretchedness in which man is now sunk.

hell. "

He has received the spirit of Jesus, who did not please Himself and did not seek His own honor, as the spirit of his life. "
