Жената осъзна, че грехът на Ева не е бил в изяждането на ябълката. Грехът й е бил, че сама се е поддала на властта на мъжа, обръщайки се по гръб. Мъжът до този момент я любел така, както виждал, че го правят овните, петлите и кучетата му. Но един ден жената се извъртяла, та му показала незащитения си корем, в който създавала живота.

God loves his creatures, and he loves each one the more, the more it shares his own goodness, which is the first and primary object of his love. Therefore he wants the desires of his rational creatures to be fulfilled because they share most perfectly of all creatures the goodness of god. And his will is an accomplisher of things because he is the cause of things by his will. So it belongs to the divine goodness to fulfill the desires of rational creatures which are put to him in prayer. ↗

— St. Thomas Aquinas
