And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said 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. But the serpent said to the woman, You will not surely die, for God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.

But the serpent said to the woman you will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you'll be like God, knowing good and evil.
