Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And these are his common topics. He questioned whether it was a sin or no to eat of this tree, and whether really the fruit of it was forbidden. Observe, (1.) He said to the woman, Yea, hath God said, You shall not eat?

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Christ is a tree to be desired to make one wise, Col. ii. Let us, by faith, feed upon him, that we may be wise to salvation. In the heavenly paradise, the tree of knowledge will not be a forbidden tree; for there we shall know as we are known.
