By not eating from this tree, Adam and Eve would demonstrate their full trust in their Father, recognizing that he had the right to decide what was good and bad for his children. ​ — Genesis 2: 16, 17.
Kui Aadam ja Eeva poleks selle puu vilja söönud, oleksid nad saanud näidata, et usaldavad täielikult oma Isa ning tunnustavad, et Jumalal on õigus otsustada, mis on tema lastele hea ja mis halb.
