Genesis 3:8-24 - Sin's Consequences

8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God as he walked in the garden in the cool of the day. And Adam hid himself and his wife also from the face of the LORD God, among the trees of the garden. 9 And the LORD God called Adam and said unto him, "Where art thou?"

10 And he answered, "Thy voice I heard in the garden, but I was afraid because I was naked, and therefore hid myself."

11 And he said, "Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, of which I bade thee that thou shouldest not eat?"

12 And Adam answered, "The woman which thou gavest to bear me company, she took me of the tree, and I ate."

13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, "Wherefore didst thou so?" And the woman answered, "The serpent deceived me and I ate."

14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, "Because thou hast so done, most cursed be thou of all cattle and of all beasts of the field. Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all days of thy life. 15 Moreover, I will put hatred between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. And that seed shall tread thee on the head, and thou shalt tread it on the heel."

16 And unto the woman he said, "I will surely increase thy sorrow and make thee oft with child, and with pain shalt thou be delivered: And thy lusts shall pertain unto thy husband and he shall rule thee."

17 And unto Adam he said, "Forasmuch as thou hast obeyed the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying 'See thou eat not thereof' cursed be the earth for thy sake. In sorrow shalt thou eat thereof all days of thy life: 18 and it shall bear thorns and thistles unto thee. And thou shalt eat the herbs of the field: 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return unto the earth whence thou wast taken: for earth thou art, and unto earth shalt thou return."

20 And Adam called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all that liveth. 21 And the LORD God made Adam and his wife garments of skins, and put them on them.

22 And the LORD God said, "Lo, Adam is become as it were one of us, in knowledge of good and evil. But now lest he stretch forth his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat and live ever -" 23 and the LORD God cast him out of the garden of Eden, to till the earth whence he was taken. 24 And he cast Adam out, and set at the entering of the garden Eden, Cherubim with a naked sword moving in and out, to keep the way to the tree of life.
