Cheryl,

Just to expound on my statement above about Paul’s emphasis being on ‘learning’ (v 11), do you think that this can be closely linked with vv 13-14… more so than v 12?

can it be that Paul’s is emphasising that Eve didn’t ‘learn’ God’s command (passed on from Adam indirectly in the garden???) and thus she was deceived? in some ways v 12 is then a comment made in the middle of the flow of 11, 13-14?

with ‘learning’ as the only imperative, should we give it the ‘greatest’ focus in the passage?

just wondering what you think…
