(2.) _Man doomed to labor._
GEN. III, 19. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou
art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
(3.) _Physical suffering caused by the Fall._
GEN. III, 16. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy
sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;
and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
ROM. VIII, 20. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not
willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope;
21. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the
bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of
God.
22. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in
pain together until now.
23. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits
of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for
the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
2 COR. V, 4. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being
burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that
mortality might be swallowed up of life.
(4.) _Temporal death the result of sin._
1 COR. XV, 22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be
made alive.
ROM. V, 12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned:
13. For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed
when there is no law.
14. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that
had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is
the figure of him that was to come.
15. But not as the offense, so also is the free gift: for if through
the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the
gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto
many.
16. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the
judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many
offenses unto justification.
17. For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they
which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
18. Therefore, as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to
condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came
upon all men unto justification of life.
19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the
obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
HEB. IX, 27. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment.
JOB. XVI, 22. When a few years are come, then I shall go the way
whence I shall not return.
JOB. III, 23. Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom
God hath hedged in?
