⁶ When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable^(A) for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband,^(B) who was with her, and he ate it.^{(C) 7} Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked;^(D) so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.^(E)

⁸ Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking^(F) in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid^(G) from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. ⁹ But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”^(H)

¹⁰ He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid^(I) because I was naked;^(J) so I hid.”

¹¹ And he said, “Who told you that you were naked?^(K) Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?^(L)”

¹² The man said, “The woman you put here with me^(M)—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

¹³ Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me,^(N) and I ate.”

²⁴ “The God who made the world and everything in it^(A) is the Lord of heaven and earth^(B) and does not live in temples built by human hands.^{(C) 25} And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.^{(D) 26} From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.^{(E) 27} God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.^{(F) 28} ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’^[a](G) As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’^[b]
