And the Lord God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
The man replied, “I heard you moving about in the orchard, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”
The man said, “The woman whom you gave me, she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.”
But the Lord said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground!
When you did these things, I was silent, so you thought I was exactly like you. But now I will condemn you and state my case against you!
For no one is declared righteous before him by the works of the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
