Genesis 3:1-7

1Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’?”

2The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees in the garden.

3But about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat it or touch it, or you will die.’”

4“No! You will certainly not die,” the serpent said to the woman.

5“In fact, God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
