Fall of Man: General Scriptures Concerning

Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’” …

And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,

…but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

…if I have covered my transgressions like Adam by hiding my guilt in my heart,

Only this have I found: I have discovered that God made mankind upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”

Your first father sinned, and your spokesmen rebelled against Me.

But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there they were unfaithful to Me.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

…so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.

And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
