Genesis 2:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ The Lord God put the man in the Garden of Eden. He put him there to farm its land and take care of it. ¹⁶ The Lord God gave the man a command. He said, “You may eat fruit from any tree in the garden. ¹⁷ But you must not eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you do, you will certainly die.”
