Was not deceived [ο υ κ η π α τ η θ η]. Once in Paul, Ephesians 5:6. Comp. 2 Corinthians 11:3. Rev. beguiled. As it is evident that Adam was beguiled, the interpreters have tried many ways of explaining the expression, either by supplying prwtov first, or by saying (as Bengel) that the woman did not deceive the man, but persuaded him; or by supplying by the serpent, or so long as he was alone; or by saying that Eve was directly and Adam indirectly deceived.

Being deceived [ε ξ α π α τ η θ ε ι σ α]. completely or thoroughly beguiled. Was in the transgression [ε ν π α ρ α β α σ ε ι γ ε γ ο ν ε ν]. A. V. misses the force of gegonen. Ginesqai ejn often signifies the coming or falling into a condition, as Acts 12:11; Acts 22:17; Revelation 1:10; 1 Corinthians 2:3; 2 Corinthians 3:7; 1 Thessalonians 2:5. Rend. hath fallen into transgression.
