Genesis 3:1-5

The Fall

1Now athe serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You
In Hebrew  you is plural in verses 1–5
shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”
2And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3but God said, c‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 dBut the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

John 8:44

44 eYou are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. fHe was a murderer from the beginning, and gdoes not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. hWhen he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Acts 13:10

10and said, “You ison of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and jvillainy, will you not stop kmaking crooked lthe straight paths of the Lord?

2 Corinthians 11:3

3But I am afraid that mas the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts nwill be led astray from a osincere and ppure devotion to Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

13For such men are qfalse apostles, rdeceitful workmen, sdisguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as tan angel of light. 15So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as uservants of righteousness. vTheir end will correspond to their deeds.

1 John 3:8-10

8 wWhoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was xto destroy the works of the devil. 9 yNo one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s
Greek his
seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
10By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, aanor is the one who abdoes not love his brother.

Jude 19

19It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, acdevoid of the Spirit.
