This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Was not deceived (οὐκ ἠπατήθη)
Once in Paul, Eph 5:6. Comp. 2Co 11:3. Rev. beguiled. As it is evident that Adam was beguiled, the interpreters have tried many ways of explaining the expression, either by supplying πρῶτος first, or by saying (as Bengel) that the woman did not deceive the man, but persuaded him; or by supplying by the serpent, or so long as he was alone; or by saying that Eve was directly and Adam indirectly deceived.
Being deceived (ἐξαπατηθεῖσα)
Completely or thoroughly beguiled.
Was in the transgression (ἐν παραβάσει γέγονεν)
A.V. misses the force of γέγονεν. Γίνεσθαι ἐν often signifies the coming or falling into a condition, as Act 12:11; Act 22:17; Rev 1:10; 1Co 2:3; 2Co 3:7; 1Th 2:5. Rend. hath fallen into transgression.
