Genesis 3:6-15
New King James Version
6 So when the woman (A)saw that the tree was good for food, that it was [a]pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit (B)and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, (C)and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves [b]coverings.
8 And they heard (D)the [c]sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the [d]cool of the day, and Adam and his wife (E)hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, (F)and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
12 Then the man said, (G)“The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, (H)“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And (I)you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between (J)your seed and (K)her Seed;
(L)He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
