Адам и Енох

Adam sees Enoch entering paradise and is tormented by spiritual repentance. The entry of Enoch reproached Adam, who was expelled from paradise. But in what tormented him, he also found healing. Enoch dealt him a blow by entering into paradise, but Enoch also consoled him by entering into the lost inheritance. Our forefather Adam rejoiced, seeing that although he was expelled from paradise, his descendants were entering the blessed abode. His son put him to shame, but he also consoled him. Adam did not die on the day on which it was determined for him to die. And this same goodness of God, which canceled such a sentence, saved his life, so that he would be comforted when he saw Enoch enter paradise and receive it as an inheritance. Adam tasted this goodness, realized that he too could enter there with the help of another Eve, and knew that he, too, had hope of returning to his inheritance. In Enoch Adam saw the image of our Savior, Who opened paradise and led the exiled into it; I saw the secret of the Vertogradar, who guards grace - the key to heaven. When Enoch entered Paradise, then righteousness and goodness led him to the tree of life, so that from righteousness he would receive life and be exalted by goodness. If Enoch, who did not die, could not be alive without the tree of life, then who can receive life without the Ever-living Son, that Fruit that gives life to everything? A person can receive no reward for his labor except through truth, and no other way than through goodness can he receive more than what is due for his labor. Whose work is equivalent to the Kingdom? Who can receive the Kingdom in truth if he does not inherit its tuna? Is a drop given in truth, and the rest makes up for goodness? The work of truth only gives the Giver an opportunity to reward the Giver with great wealth for small things, because the one who multiplies the truth is not reproached even for a small increase in truth. The small work of a mortal proves that he would have done much. If his life had been prolonged, there would have been more work. Therefore, truth is together with goodness. Truth tends to assign credit for what a person would have done if he had lived longer. And it is characteristic of goodness (even if a person has not done it), from the little that he has done, to conclude about more. Human labor is both small and great. Small in reality, great in will, the desire of which is limitless. A person cannot do much by his own strength, but he can desire to do much by his own will. He has much in his will, but little in his execution. Therefore, if the Vindicator rewards the small, it means that the work itself was small in reality; if he rewards without measure, then it means that he takes into account the will.
