Genesis 3:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Then the (A)serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not [a][b]die at all,
5 But God doth know that when ye shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, [c]knowing good and evil.
6 So the woman (seeing that the tree was good for meat, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired, to get knowledge) took of the fruit thereof, and did (B)eat, and gave also to her husband with her, and he [d]did eat.
