7 Если дјлаешь доброе: то не поднимаешь ли чела? а если не дјлаешь добраго: то у дверей грјхъ лежитъ; онъ влечетъ тебя къ себј, но ты господствуй надъ нимъ.

1020. That these things are meant becomes clear from the fact that everything put together as history from Genesis 1 down to Eber in Chapter 11 means something different from what appears in the letter, and from the consideration that the historical narratives there are purely made-up history customary among the most ancient people. When attesting the truth of some matter they would say that 'Jehovah said it'. Here however 'God' is used because the subject is the spiritual Church. And they did the same when anything true was being, or had been, put into effect.

Many people are familiar with the Cain and Abel story. They're the two sons of Adam and Eve, and in a jealous rage Cain murders Abel. After the main story there is a short genealogy that at face value seems like unnecessary information. However when we see this story as an allegory we see that this genealogy lays out what happens when we remove love from our faith. Oddly enough, it ends up that we lose our faith as well.
