14. Adam was not deceived —as Eve was deceived by the serpent; but was persuaded by his wife. Genesis 3:17 , "hearkened unto . . . voice of . . . wife." But in Genesis 3:17- : , Eve says, "The serpent beguiled me." Being more easily deceived, she more easily deceives [BENGEL], ( 2 Corinthians 11:3 ). Last in being, she was first in sin—indeed, she alone was deceived. The subtle serpent knew that she was "the weaker vessel" ( 2 Corinthians 11:3- : ). He therefore tempted her, not Adam. She yielded to the temptations of sense and the deceits of Satan; he, to conjugal love. Hence, in the order of God's judicial sentence, the serpent, the prime offender, stands first; the woman, who was deceived, next; and the man, persuaded by his wife, last ( 2 Corinthians 11:3- : ). In Romans 5:12 , Adam is represented as the first transgressor; but there no reference is made to Eve, and Adam is regarded as the head of the sinning race. Hence, as here, 1 Timothy 2:11 , in 1 Timothy 2:11- : , woman's "subjection" is represented as the consequence of her being deceived. being deceived —The oldest manuscripts read the compound Greek verb for the simple, "Having been seduced by deceit ": implying how completely Satan succeeded in deceiving her. was in the transgression — Greek, " came to be in the transgression": became involved in the existing state of transgression, literally, "the going beyond a command"; breach of a positive precept ( 1 Timothy 2:11- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-15" class="com-number"
