Genesis 3:1-19

[1] Now the serpent  was  more subtil  than any beast  of the field  which the LORD  God  had made.  And he said  unto the woman,  Yea,  hath God  said,  Ye shall not eat  of every tree  of the garden?  [2] And the woman  said  unto the serpent,  We may eat  of the fruit  of the trees  of the garden:  [3] But of the fruit  of the tree  which is in the midst  of the garden,  God  hath said,  Ye shall not eat  of it, neither shall ye touch  it, lest  ye die.  [4] And the serpent  said  unto the woman,  Ye shall not surely  [5] For God  doth know  that in the day  ye eat  thereof, then your eyes  shall be opened,  and ye shall be as gods,  knowing  good  and evil.  [6] And when the woman  saw  that the tree  was good  for food,  and that it  was pleasant  to the eyes,  and a tree  to be desired  to make one wise,  she took  of the fruit thereof,  and did eat,  and gave  also  with her; and he did eat.  [7] And the eyes  of them both  were opened,  and they  knew  that they were naked;  fig  leaves  together,  and made themselves  aprons.  [8] And they heard  the voice  of the LORD  God  walking  in the garden  in the cool  of the day:  and Adam  and his wife  hid themselves  from the presence  of the LORD  God  amongst  the trees  of the garden.  [9] And the LORD  God  called  unto Adam,  and said  unto him, Where art thou?  [10] And he said,  I heard  thy voice  in the garden,  and I was afraid,  because I  was naked;  and I hid myself.  [11] And he said,  Who  told  thee that thou wast naked?  Hast thou eaten  of the tree,  whereof I commanded thee  that thou shouldest not  eat?  [12] And the man  said,  The woman  whom thou gavest  to be with me,  she  gave  me of the tree,  and I did eat.  [13] And the LORD  God  said  unto the woman,  What is this that thou hast done?  And the woman  said,  The serpent  beguiled me,  and I did eat.  [14] And the LORD  God  said  unto the serpent,  Because thou  hast done  this, thou art cursed  above all cattle,  and above every beast  of the field;  upon thy belly  and dust  shalt thou eat  all the days  of thy life:  [15] And I will put  enmity  between thee and the woman,  and between thy seed  it shall bruise  thy head,  and thou shalt bruise  his heel.  [16] Unto the woman  he said,  I will greatly  thy sorrow  and thy conception;  in sorrow  thou shalt bring forth  children;  and thy desire  shall be to thy husband,  and he shall rule  over thee. [17] And unto Adam  he said,  Because thou hast hearkened  unto the voice  of thy wife,  and hast eaten  of the tree,  of which  I commanded thee,  saying,  Thou shalt not eat  of it: cursed  is the ground  for thy sake; in sorrow  shalt thou eat  of it all  the days  of thy life;  [18] Thorns also  and thistles  shall it bring forth  to thee; and thou shalt eat  the herb  of the field;  [19] In the sweat  of thy face  shalt thou eat  bread,  till  thou return  unto the ground;  for out of it wast thou taken:  for dust  thou  art, and unto dust  shalt thou return.
