2 And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,

4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.

5 For God knows that in the day ye eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
For God does know that in the day all of you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and all of you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

And unto Adam he said, Because you have hearkened unto the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of your life;
18 Also, thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to thee, and thou shall eat the herb of the field.
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to you; and you shall eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face thou shall eat bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it thou were taken. For thou are dust, and to dust thou shall return.
