Genesis 3:6

"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he did eat."

Davis mistakenly believed that, "Sin, here, is not a breaking of a law."[14] However, there was the breaking of a law, God's law that they should not eat of that certain tree; thus, the action here lies clearly within the perimeter of the N.T. definition of sin as "transgression of the law." The three primary avenues of temptation are also visible here. The lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16) appear here in a manner suggesting the three temptations of Christ (Matthew 4). Another feature of this passage is the greater blame that lay upon Adam for involving himself and his total posterity in the disaster of Paradise Lost. "Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled fell into temptation" (1 Timothy 2:14). Thus, Adam sinned deliberately with his eyes wide open, whereas Eve was deceived.
