Genesis 3:1-5

1Now 1the serpent was more cunning than any animal of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?”

2The woman said to the serpent, “2From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;

3but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’”

43The serpent said to the woman, “You certainly will not die!

5For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and 4you will 5become like God, knowing good and evil.”
