8 And He said to me, 'Stay here!' And I remained there according to His Word, neither did I transgress His commandment.
9 Then He made a slumber to come over me, and He brought you, O Adam, out of my side, but did not make you stay with me.
10 But God took you in His divine hand, and placed you in a garden to the eastward.
11 Then I worried about you, for that while God had taken you out of my side, He had not let you stay with me.
12 But God said to me: 'Do not worry about Adam, whom I brought out of your side; no harm will come to him.
13 For now I have brought out of his side a help-meet* for him; and I have given him joy by so doing.'"
14 Then Satan said again, "I did not know how it is you are in this cave, nor anything about this trial that has come over you—until God said to me, 'Behold, Adam has transgressed, he whom I had taken out of your side, and Eve also, whom I took out of his side; and I have driven them out of the garden; I have made them live in a land of sorrow and misery, because they transgressed against Me, and have obeyed Satan. And look, they are in suffering until this day, the eightieth.'
15 Then God said to me, 'Get up, go to them, and make them come to your place, and suffer not that Satan come near them, and afflict them. For they are now in great misery; and lie helpless from hunger.'
16 He further said to me, 'When you have taken them to yourself, give them to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Life, and give them to drink of the water of peace; and clothe them in a garment of light, and restore them to their former state of grace, and leave them not in misery, for they came from you. But grieve not over them, nor repent of that which has come over them.
17 But when I heard this, I was sorry; and my heart could not patiently bear it for your sake, O my child.
