The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,

but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”

The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t surely die,

for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

“whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”

“Their feet are swift to shed blood.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God’s Torah, neither indeed can it be.
