Genesis 3:4-8Good News Translation (GNT)

⁴ The snake replied, “That's not true; you will not die. ⁵ God said that because he knows that when you eat it, you will be like God^[a] and know what is good and what is bad.”^[b]

⁶ The woman saw how beautiful the tree was and how good its fruit would be to eat, and she thought how wonderful it would be to become wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he also ate it. ⁷ As soon as they had eaten it, they were given understanding and realized that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and covered themselves.

⁸ That evening they heard the Lord God walking in the garden, and they hid from him among the trees.
