“But behold, the devil hath deceived me; for he appeared unto me in the form of an angel, and said unto me:
‘Go and reclaim this people,
for they have all gone astray
after an unknown God.’“And he said unto me:
‘There is no God.’
“Yea, and he taught me that which I should say. And I have taught his words; and I taught them because they were pleasing unto the carnal mind; and I taught them, even until I had much success, insomuch that I verily believed that they were true; and for this cause I withstood the truth, even until I have brought this great curse upon me.”
