The Second Book of Adam and Eve · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1THEN Elohim (God) ordered Satan to show himself to Adam plainly, in his own hideous form.

2But when Adam saw him, he feared, and trembled at the sight of him.

3And Elohim (God) said to Adam, 'Look at this devil, and at his hideous look, and know that he it is who made thee fall from brightness into darkness, from peace and rest to toil and misery.

4And look, 0 Adam, at him, who said of himself that he is Elohim (God)! Can Elohim (God) be black? Would Elohim (God) take the form of a woman? Is there any one stronger than Elohim (God)? And can He be overpowered?

5"See, then, 0 Adam, and behold him bound in thy presence, in the air, unable to flee away! Therefore, I say unto thee, be not afraid of him; henceforth take care, and beware of him, in whatever he may do to thee."

That is the first paragraph of The Second Book of Adam and Eve 4
