17 Προς δε τον Αδαμ ειπεν, Επειδη υπηκουσας εις τον λογον της γυναικος σου, και εφαγες απο του δενδρου, απο του οποιου προσεταξα εις σε λεγων, Μη φαγης απ' αυτου, κατηραμενη να ηναι η γη εξ αιτιας σου· με λυπας θελεις τρωγει τους καρπους αυτης πασας τας ημερας της ζωης σου·

271. 'The days of your life' means the last days of the Church. This is recognized from the fact that the subject here is not one particular person but the Church and its state. The last days of that Church were the time of the Flood.
