2 Esdras 7:47

2 Esdras 7:47 Context

⁴⁵Then shall no man be able to saue him that is destroyed, nor to oppresse him that hath gotten the victory. ⁴⁶I answered then and said, This is my first and last saying; that it had beene better not to haue giuen the earth vnto Adam: or else when it was giuen him, to haue restrained him from sinning. ⁴⁷For what profit is it for men now in this present time to liue in heauinesse, and after death to looke for punishment? ⁴⁸O thou Adam, what hast thou done? for though it was thou that sinned, thou art not fallen alone, but we all that come of thee. ⁴⁹For what profit is it vnto vs, if there be promised vs an immortall time, wheras we haue done the works that bring death?
