People were made to be like angels, meant to stay pure and righteous, so that death, which destroys everything, wouldn't affect them. But because of their knowledge, they are dying, and because of this power, I am being consumed.
For men were created exactly like the angels, to the intent that they should continue pure and righteous, and death, which destroys everything, could not have taken hold of them, but through this their knowledge they are perishing, and through this power it is consuming me+.
