Question 35


Modern Adaptation

Question: What is the result of Adam’s sin for everyone?

Answer: Everyone is born in a state of sin and sadness.


Traditional Formulation

Question: What effect had the sin of Adam on all mankind?

Answer: All mankind are born in a state of sin and misery.


Adaptation Commentary

“All mankind” is changed to “everyone” and “effect had … on” is rearranged and simplified “is the result of”. Additionally, “misery” is changed to “sadness” for consistency with question 33.
