But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
(2 Corinthians 11:3 -- NIV)

The snake was more clever than all the wild animals the Lord God had made.  He asked the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must never eat the fruit of any tree in the garden’?”
(Genesis 3:1 -- NIV)
