−	~~:Question 24: What is sin?~~
−	~~::Answer: Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, any law of God, given as a rule to the reasonable creature.~~
−	~~:Question 25: Wherein consists the sinfulness of that estate whereinto man fell?~~
−	::Answer: The sinfulness of that estate whereinto man fell, consists in the guilt of Adam's first sin, the want of that righteousness wherein he was created, and the corruption of his nature, whereby he is utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite unto all that is spiritually good, and wholly inclined to all evil, and that continually; which is commonly called original sin, and from which do proceed all actual transgressions.
−	~~:Questions 26-50~~
−	~~:Question 26: How is original sin conveyed from our first parents unto their posterity?~~
−	~~::Answer: Original sin is conveyed from our first parents unto their posterity by natural generation, so as all that proceed from them in that way are conceived and born in sin.~~
−	~~:Question 27: What misery did the fall bring upon mankind?~~
−	::Answer: The fall brought upon mankind the loss of communion with God, his displeasure and curse; so as we are by nature children of wrath, bond slaves to Satan, and justly liable to all punishments in this world, and that which is to come.
−	~~:Question 28: What are the punishments of sin in this world?~~
−	::Answer: The punishments of sin in this world are either inward, as blindness of mind, a reprobate sense, strong delusions, hardness of heart, horror of conscience, and vile affections; or outward, as the curse of God upon the creatures for our sakes, and all other evils that befall us in our bodies, names, estates, relations, and employments; together with death itself.
−	~~:Question 29: What are the punishments of sin in the world to come?~~
−	::Answer: The punishments of sin in the world to come, are everlasting separation from the comfortable presence of God, and most grievous torments in soul and body, without intermission, in hell fire forever.
−	~~:Question 30: Does God leave all mankind to perish in the estate of sin and misery?~~
−	::Answer: God does not leave all men to perish in the estate of sin and misery, into which they fell by the breach of the first covenant, commonly called the covenant of works; but of his mere love and mercy delivers his elect out of it, and brings them into an estate of salvation by the second covenant, commonly called the covenant of grace.
	:Question 31: With whom was the covenant of grace made?		:Question 31: With whom was the covenant of grace made?
	::Answer: The covenant of grace was made with Christ as the second Adam, and in him with all the elect as his seed.		::Answer: The covenant of grace was made with Christ as the second Adam, and in him with all the elect as his seed.
