Genesis 3:1-5 ▼

1 Now 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’? ”

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

3 But 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 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.”
