Genesis 3



  1. Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made, and he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?"  (1 Chr. 21:1;   2 Cor. 11:3)
  2. And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;
  3. "but if the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'"  (Ex. 19:12-13)
  4. And the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.
  5. "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like
    God, knowing good and evil."
  6. So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate.  She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.  (1 John 2:16)
  7. To the woman He said:
    1. "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
      in pain you shall bring forth children; (Gen. 13:16;   John 16:21)
      your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."
  8. Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it':  (1 Sam. 15:23;   Gen. 2:17)
    1. "Cursed is the ground for your sake;  (Rom. 8:20-22)
       In toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life.  (Ps. 127:2)
    1. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
      and you shall eat the herb of the field.  (Job 31:40;   Prov. 24:31)
    1. In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
      Till you return to the ground,  (2 Thess. 3:10)
      For out of it you were taken;
      For dust you are,
      and to dust you shall return."
      (Gen. 2:7;   Gen. 5:5;   Job 21:26;   Job 34:15;   Ps. 127:2;   Eccl. 3:20;   Heb. 9:27)
