v14 again.
“Adam was not the one deceived
it was the woman who was deceived.”
Doesn’t this naturally read as though these two statements are contrasted with each other. Don’t we always discuss from this passage, and comparing it with Genesis 3, the difference between Adam’s deliberate sin and Eve’s sin through deception. All this is not in this passage if it is not talking about Eve. The contrast seems to naturally refer to the contrasting responses of Adam and Eve in the fall.
The Greek would have to be very conclusive to overcome this natural reading.
