Genesis 3:2-6 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

2. The woman answered the snake: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden;

3. it is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said, ‘You shall not eat it or even touch it, or else you will die.’”

4. But the snake said to the woman: “You certainly will not die!

5. God knows well that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, who know good and evil.”

6. The woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and the tree was desirable for gaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
