Genesis 2: 7-9, 3: 1-7

2:7 And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

2:8 Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.

2:9 And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

3:1 Egter, the serpent was more crafty than any of the creatures of the earth that the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Why has God instructed you, that you should not eat from every tree of Paradise?”

3:2 The woman responded to him: “From the fruit of the trees which are in Paradise, we eat.

3:3 Tog waarlik, from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of Paradise, God has instructed us that we should not eat, and that we should not touch it, dat ons nie miskien sterf nie.”

3:4 Then the serpent said to the woman: “By no means will you die a death.

3:5 For God knows that, on whatever day you will eat from it, your eyes will be opened; and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil.”

3:6 And so the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and beautiful to the eyes, and delightful to consider. And she took from its fruit, en sy het geëet. And she gave to her husband, who ate.

3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened. And when they realized themselves to be naked, they joined together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.

Romeine 5: 12-19

5:12 Daarom, net soos deur een mens sonde in hierdie wêreld ingekom het, en deur sonde, dood; so is ook die dood op alle mense oorgedra, aan almal wat gesondig het.

5:13 Want selfs voor die wet, sonde was in die wêreld, maar sonde is nie toegereken terwyl die wet nie bestaan ​​het nie.

5:14 Tog het die dood geheers van Adam af tot by Moses, selfs in die wat nie gesondig het nie, in die gelykenis van die oortreding van Adam, wat 'n figuur is van hom wat sou kom.

5:15 Maar die geskenk is nie heeltemal soos die oortreding nie. Want wel deur die oortreding van een, baie het gesterf, nog baie meer so, deur die genade van een mens, Jesus Christus, het die genade en gawe van God vir baie oorvloedig geword.

5:16 En die sonde deur een is nie heeltemal soos die gawe nie. Vir seker, die oordeel van een was tot veroordeling, maar die genade vir baie oortredings is tot regverdigmaking.

5:17 Want tog, deur die een oortreding, die dood het deur een geheers, nog soveel te meer sal diegene wat 'n oorvloed van genade ontvang, beide van die gawe en van geregtigheid, heers in die lewe deur die een Jesus Christus.

5:18 Daarom, net soos deur die oortreding van een, alle mense het onder veroordeling geval, so ook deur die geregtigheid van een, alle mense val onder regverdiging tot lewe.

5:19 Vir, net soos deur die ongehoorsaamheid van een man, baie is as sondaars gevestig, so ook deur die gehoorsaamheid van een mens, baie sal as regverdig bevestig word.

Evangelie

Matteus 4: 1-11

4:1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert, in order to be tempted by the devil. 4:2 And when he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.

4:3 En nader, the tempter said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4:4 And in response he said, “It has been written: ‘Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

4:5 Then the devil took him up, into the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

4:6 en vir hom gesê: “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it has been written: ‘For he has given charge of you to his angels, and they shall take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone.’ ”

4:7 Jesus het vir hom gesê, “Again, it has been written: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

4:8 Weereens, the devil took him up, onto a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,

4:9 en vir hom gesê, “All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down and adore me.”

4:10 Then Jesus said to him: "Gaan weg, Satan. For it has been written: ‘You shall adore the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’ ” 4:11 Then the devil left him. En kyk, Angels approached and ministered to him.
