Genesis
3:1-5
Now the Serpent
was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had
made. He said to the woman 'Did God really say, 'You must not
eat from any tree in the garden'?
The woman said
to the Serpent, 'We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is
in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you
will die.'
'You will not
surely die,' the Serpent said to the woman. 'For God knows that
when you eat of it your eyes will opened, and you will be like
God, knowing good and evil.'
