14  And when these men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, the ^asons of men saw that those daughters were fair, and they took them wives, even as they chose.

  15  Now the cause of this iniquity of the people was this—^aSatan had great power, unto the stirring up of the people to do all manner of iniquity, and to the puffing them up with pride, tempting them to seek for power, and authority, and riches, and the vain things of the world.

  13  And Satan came among them, saying: I am also a son of God; and he commanded them, saying: Believe it not; and they believed it not, and they ^cloved Satan more than God. And men began from that time forth to be carnal, sensual, and devilish.

  23  Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get ^apower and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
