; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. The Holy Bible: New Revised Standard Version. (1989). (1 Ti 2:13–14). Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers. +++++++++++++++ 2:14 The second proof refers to the entrance of sin into the human race. Instead of approaching Adam directly, the serpent went to Eve with his temptations and lies. According to God’s intention, Eve should not have acted independently. She should have gone to Adam and put the matter before him. Instead of that, she allowed herself to be deceived by Satan and fell into transgression. In this connection, it is noteworthy that false teachers today usually visit homes when the wife is most apt to be there alone, that is, when the husband will most probably be away at work. Adam was not deceived. It appears that he sinned with his eyes open. There are those who suggest that when he saw that his wife had already fallen into sin, he wanted to maintain his unity with her, and so he himself plunged into sin. But the Scriptures do not state this. They merely state that the woman was deceived, but that Adam was not. MacDonald, W. (1995). Believer’s Bible Commentary: Old and New Testaments. (A.
