Again, consider the fact that it is the serpent and not man who is cursed. And the earth is not cursed in itself, but is “cursed in your work” (Genesis 3:17, John 6:50). This is said in reference to the soul. The earth is cursed if your works are earthly, that is, of this world. It is not cursed as a whole. It will merely bring forth thorns and thistles if it is not diligently cared for by the labor of human hands.
