The first sin, as the Holy Scripture testifies, is the crime of the primordial Adam, for which he was expelled from paradise, fell into death and corruption, and was condemned to eat his bread in the sweat of his brow. Thus, in human nature the first sin is, and is recognized as such, the crime of Adam, through which death entered the world through the envy of the devil, as the Wisdom of God says through the wise Solomon; in the angelic nature, first of all, through the accursed devil, godless and godless pride arose. Therefore, the first sin can rightly be recognized as precisely pride, with which the godless devil was able to deceive the primordial being, instilling in him the desire to become like God: and you will, he said, be like gods. This is extreme pride.
