6a	TG Food.
b	Heb. idiom meaning ‘a desirable thing.’
c	OR desirable as a means to wisdom, insight. 1 Ne. 8: 12 (10-15). 12 And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with exceedingly great ^ajoy; wherefore, I began to be ^bdesirous that my family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was ^cdesirable above all other fruit. 1 Ne. 15: 36. 36 Wherefore, the wicked are rejected from the righteous, and also from that ^atree of life, whose fruit is most precious and most ^bdesirable above all other fruits; yea, and it is the ^cgreatest of all the ^dgifts of God. And thus I spake unto my brethren. Amen. Moses 4: 12. 12 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it became pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be ^adesired to make her wise, she took of the ^bfruit thereof, and did ^ceat, and also gave unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
d	2 Ne. 2: 15 (15-19). 15 And to bring about his eternal ^apurposes in the end of man, after he had ^bcreated our first parents, and the beasts of the field and the ^cfowls of the air, and in fine, all things which are created, it must needs be that there was an opposition; even the ^dforbidden ^efruit in ^fopposition to the ^gtree of life; the one being sweet and the other bitter. Mosiah 3: 26. 26 Therefore, they have drunk out of the ^acup of the wrath of God, which justice could no more deny unto them than it could deny that ^bAdam should fall because of his partaking of the forbidden ^cfruit; therefore, ^dmercy could have claim on them no more forever. Alma 12: 22 (21-23). 22 Now Alma said unto him: This is the thing which I was about to explain. Now we see that Adam did ^afall by the partaking of the forbidden ^bfruit, according to the word of God; and thus we see, that by his fall, all mankind became a ^clost and fallen people. D&C 29: 40. 40 Wherefore, it came to pass that the devil tempted Adam, and he partook of the forbidden ^afruit and ^btransgressed the commandment, wherein he became ^csubject to the will of the devil, because he yielded unto temptation. Moses 4: 12 (7-13). 12 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it became pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be ^adesired to make her wise, she took of the ^bfruit thereof, and did ^ceat, and also gave unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
e	TG Fall of Man. TG Transgression.
f	Rom. 5: 12. 12 Wherefore, as by one man ^asin entered into the world, and ^bdeath by sin; and so ^cdeath passed upon all men, for that all have ^dsinned:
