1 Meqabyan 18:1 — Think about going before God. Everything is in His hands. You will stand before Him so that He may judge you according to the works you have done.
1 Meqabyan 18:2 — Even those who were wicked and arrogant in former times, the children of the Watchers, were like this. There was no one greater or stronger than they were. Because they saw their own power, their stature, and the strength of their arms, they did not keep God before their eyes. They did not recognize that He was their Creator, the One who brought them into existence out of nothing.
1 Meqabyan 18:3 — Their fathers, while they were angels, used to praise God together with the angels in heaven. But when their own desires led them astray, they descended into everlasting punishment of judgment.
1 Meqabyan 18:4 — They took wives from among the daughters of men. For God had created human flesh for them so that He might humble them because of the pride of their hearts, and test them to see whether they would keep His law and His commandments.
1 Meqabyan 18:5 — But they did not keep His commandments. Therefore, He cast them down into the fiery Gehenna together with their father, the Devil. For God became angry with the angels because they sinned like human beings, and because of them, the lifespan of mankind was shortened.
1 Meqabyan 18:6 — They also took the children of Adam along with them and brought them down to Sheol to share in their punishment.
1 Meqabyan 18:7 — Because the angels led the children of Cain astray, the lifespan of mankind was shortened. Whereas in ancient times human beings lived for nine hundred years, their lifespan was reduced to one hundred and twenty years.
