CHAPTER 3

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.

26a	Ps. 75: 8. 8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a ^acup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and ^bdrink them. Jer. 25: 15. 15 ¶ For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine ^acup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the ^bnations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. Lam. 4: 21. 21 ¶ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of ^aEdom, that dwellest in the land of ^bUz; the ^ccup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
b	Morm. 9: 12. 12 Behold, he created Adam, and by ^aAdam came the ^bfall of man. And because of the fall of man came Jesus Christ, even the Father and the Son; and because of Jesus Christ came the ^credemption of man. Moro. 8: 8. 8 ^aListen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God. Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance; the ^bwhole need no physician, but they that are sick; wherefore, little ^cchildren are ^dwhole, for they are not capable of committing ^esin; wherefore the curse of ^fAdam is taken from them in me, that it hath no power over them; and the law of ^gcircumcision is done away in me.
c	Gen. 3: 6. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for ^afood, and that it was ^bpleasant to the eyes, and a tree ^cto be desired to make one wise, she took of the ^dfruit thereof, and did ^eeat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did ^feat. 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. 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.
