New Testament

Genesis 3:11-20 English Standard Version (ESV)

11. He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

12. The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.”

13. Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14. The Lord God said to the serpent,“Because you have done this,cursed are you above all livestockand above all beasts of the field;on your belly you shall go,and dust you shall eatall the days of your life.

15. I will put enmity between you and the woman,and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head,and you shall bruise his heel.”

16. To the woman he said,“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband,and he shall rule over you.”

17. And to Adam he said,“Because you have listened to the voice of your wifeand have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you,‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

18. thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;and you shall eat the plants of the field.

19. By the sweat of your faceyou shall eat bread,till you return to the ground,for out of it you were taken; for you are dust,and to dust you shall return.”

20. The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
