Westminster Shorter Catechism

A. The sin whereby our first parents fell from the estate wherein they were created, was their eating the forbidden fruit. 1

  1. Genesis 3:6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. [↩]
