Question 163 — The First Man’s Sin

We must now consider the first man’s sin which was pride: and (1) his sin; (2) its punishment; (3) the temptation whereby he was led to sin.

Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether pride was the first man’s first sin?

• (2) What the first man coveted by sinning?
• (3) Whether his sin was more grievous than all other sins?
• (4) Which sinned more grievously, the man or the woman?
