6 E la donna vide che il frutto dell’albero era buono a mangiarsi, ch’era bello a vedere, e che l’albero era desiderabile per diventare intelligente; prese del frutto, ne mangiò, e ne dette anche al suo marito ch’era con lei, ed egli ne mangiò.

214. They are called 'naked' because they were left to their proprium. Indeed people who are left to the proprium, that is, to themselves, no longer possess any intelligence or wisdom, that is, any faith. Denuded of truth and good, they are accordingly under the influence of evil.
