Who she was

Eve was the first woman, created by God as a companion for Adam (Genesis 2:22). She was formed from one of Adam's ribs and was named "Eve" because she would become the mother of all living (Genesis 3:20). Eve was tempted by the serpent to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden (Genesis 3:1–6). She ate the fruit and gave some to Adam, resulting in their disobedience and the introduction of sin into the world (Genesis 3:6–7). As a consequence, Eve experienced pain in childbirth and a desire for her husband, while Adam had to labor to provide for them (Genesis 3:16–19). Despite this, Eve is recognized as the mother of the human race (Genesis 4:1). Paul references Eve's deception as a warning against false teachers (2 Corinthians 11:3) and notes that Adam was created first, then Eve (1 Timothy 2:13).
