“Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”
He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.”
The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.”
But the Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground!
While you did all this, I remained silent, and you thought I didn’t care. But now I will rebuke you, listing all my charges against you.
For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
