3:1 Now the serpent <05175> was <01961> more shrewd <06175> than any <03605> of the wild <07704> animals <02416> that <0834> the Lord <03068> God <0430> had made <06213>. He said <0559> to <0413> the woman <0802>, “Is it really <0637> true that <03588> God <0430> said <0559>, ‘You must not <03808> eat <0398> from any <03605> tree <06086> of the orchard <01588>’?” 3:2 The woman <0802> said <0559> to <0413> the serpent <05175>, “We may eat <0398> of the fruit <06529> from the trees <06086> of the orchard <01588>; 3:3 but concerning the fruit <06529> of the tree <06086> that <0834> is in the middle <08432> of the orchard <01588> God <0430> said <0559>, ‘You must not <03808> eat <0398> from <04480> it, and you must not <03808> touch <05060> it, or else <06435> you will die <04191>.’” 3:4 The serpent <05175> said <0559> to <0413> the woman <0802>, “Surely <04191> <04191> you will not <03808> die <04191> <04191>, 3:5 for <03588> God <0430> knows <03045> that <03588> when <03117> you eat <0398> from <04480> it your eyes <05869> will open <06491> and you will be like <01961> divine <0430> beings who know <03045> good <02896> and evil <07451>.” 3:6 When the woman <0802> saw <07200> that <03588> the tree <06086> produced fruit <03978> that was good <02896> for <03588> food, was attractive <08378> to the eye <05869>, and was desirable <02530> for making one wise <07919>, she took <03947> some of its fruit <06529> and ate <0398> it. She also <01571> gave <05414> some of it to her husband <0582> who was with <05973> her, and he ate <0398> it. 3:7 Then the eyes <05869> of both <08147> of them opened <06491>, and they knew <03045> they <01992> were naked <05903>; so <03588> they sewed <08609> fig <08384> leaves <05929> together and made <06213> coverings <02290> for themselves. 3:8 Then the man <0120> and his wife <0802> heard <08085> the sound <06963> of the Lord <03068> God <0430> moving about <01980> in the orchard <01588> at the breezy <07307> time of the day <03117>, and they hid <02244> from the Lord <03068> God <0430> among <08432> the trees <06086> of the orchard <01588>. 3:9 But the Lord <03068> God <0430> called <07121> to <0413> the man <0120> and said <0559> to him, “Where <0335> are you?” 3:10 The man replied <0559>, “I heard <08085> you moving about <06963> in the orchard <01588>, and I was afraid <03372> because <03588> I was naked <05903>, so I <0595> hid <02244>.” 3:11 And the Lord God said <0559>, “Who <04310> told <05046> you that <03588> you were naked <05903>? Did you <0859> eat <0398> from <04480> the tree <06086> that <0834> I commanded <06680> you not <01115> to eat <0398> from <04480>?” 3:12 The man <0120> said <0559>, “The woman <0802> whom <0834> you gave <05414> me <05978>, she <01931> gave <05414> me some fruit from <04480> the tree <06086> and I ate <0398> it.” 3:13 So the Lord <03068> God <0430> said <0559> to the woman <0802>, “What <04100> is this <02063> you have done <06213>?” And the woman <0802> replied <0559>, “The serpent <05175> tricked <05377> me, and I ate <0398>.” 3:14 The Lord <03068> God <0430> said <0559> to <0413> the serpent <05175>, “Because <03588> you have done <06213> this <02063>, cursed <0779> are you <0859> above all <03605> the wild beasts <0929> and all <03605> the living creatures <02416> of the field <07704>! On <05921> your belly <01512> you will crawl <01980> and dust <06083> you will eat <0398> all <03605> the days <03117> of your life <02416>. 3:15 And I will put <07896> hostility <0342> between <0996> you and the woman <0802> and between <0996> your offspring <02233> and her offspring <02233>; her offspring will attack <07779> your head <07218>, and you <0859> will attack <07779> her offspring’s heel <06119>.” 3:16 To <0413> the woman <0802> he said <0559>, “I will greatly <07235> increase <07235> your labor pains <06093>; with pain <06089> you will give birth <03205> to children <01121>. You will want <08669> to control your husband <0376>, but he will dominate <04910> you.” 3:17 But to Adam <0121> he said <0559>, “Because <03588> you obeyed <06963> <08085> your wife <0802> and ate <0398> from <04480> the tree <06086> about which <0834> I commanded <06680> you, ‘You must not <03808> eat <0398> from <04480> it,’ cursed <0779> is the ground <0127> thanks to you; in painful toil <06093> you will eat <0398> of it all <03605> the days <03117> of your life <02416>. 3:18 It will produce <06779> thorns <06975> and thistles <01863> for you, but you will eat <0398> the grain <06212> of the field <07704>. 3:19 By the sweat <02188> of your brow <0639> you will eat <0398> food <03899> until <05704> you return <07725> to <0413> the ground <0127>, for <03588> out of <04480> it you were taken <03947>; for <03588> you <0859> are dust <06083>, and to <0413> dust <06083> you will return <07725>.”

• [Gen 3:15] Ye Choirs Of New Jerusalem

  Ye choirs of new Jerusalem, Your sweetest notes employ, The Paschal victory to hymn In strains of holy joy. For Judah’s Lion bursts His chains, Crushing the serpent’s head; And cries aloud through death’s domains To wake the imprisoned dead. From hell’s devouring jaws the prey Alone our Leader bore; His ransomed hosts pursue their way Where Jesus goes before. Triumphant in His glory now To Him all power is given; To Him in one communion bow All saints in earth and heaven. While we, His soldiers, praise our King, His mercy we implore, Within His palace bright to bring And keep us evermore. All glory to the Father be, All glory to the Son, All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee, While endless ages run. Ye choirs of new Jerusalem, To sweet new strains attune your theme; The while we keep, from care released, With sober joy our Paschal feast: When Christ, unconquer’d Lion, first The dragon’s chains by rising burst: And while with living voice He cries, The dead of other ages rise. Engorged in former years, their prey Must death and hell restore today: And many a captive soul, set free, With Jesus leaves captivity. Right gloriously He triumphs now, Worthy to Whom should all things bow; And joining heaven and earth again, Links in one commonweal the twain. And we, as these His deeds we sing, His suppliant soldiers, pray our King, That in His palace, bright and vast, We may keep watch and ward at last. Long as unending ages run, To God the Father, laud be done: To God the son, our equal praise, And God the Holy Ghost, we raise.

  As to 1 Tim 2.12, here's my take: It seems that Paul is definitely restricting the role of women in terms of roles of leadership. 1 Tim 2.12 says that women should not teach or exercise authority over men. The passage almost ...

  The verb is imperfect, which won't solve your problem. If it had been in the perfect tense it probably wouldn't have convinced the fellow who is arguing for a contradiction. I think your argument that Gen 1 is chronological a...
• Can Satan put thoughts in our minds that can be used to tempt us to sin?
  This is really a tough question and many Bible students would probably offer different opinions. The issue, as always, is what does the Bible teach us on such issues? So I'll share a few thoughts on this. I can think of n...

  We really do not have the answers to such disasters. Such have occurred throughout history. Much of it is simply because we live in a sinful world because of the fall of the human race as described in Genesis 3. This disaster...

• What Are We to Understand by "Lead Us Not into Temptation"?
  God does not tempt any one. He may permit us to be placed in positions where, if left to our own resources, we would fall; but he does not tempt us to evil. Eve said, "The serpent beguiled me." (See Gen. 3:1,4,5,13.) She yiel...

• Did Eve commit the first sin?
  The Genesis text emphasizes the woman leading in the sin, but the consequences for sin are only revealed after Adam ate as well (Gen 3:6-7). Paul lays the blame on both of them (Rom 5:12; 2 Cor 11:3; 1 Tim 2:14)....

  I believe that there has been and is only one way of salvation, and that is by faith in God's only provision for our salvation, Jesus Christ. In Romans 1:18-3:20 Paul demonstrates that all men (Jews and Gentiles alike) are lo...
