SCRIPTURE

"and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:" — 1 Timothy 2:14 (ASV)

Being beguiled (εξαπατηθεισα). First aorist passive participle of εξαπατεω, old compound verb, in N.T. only by Paul (2 Thessalonians 2:3; 1 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Corinthians 11:3; Romans 7:11; Romans 16:18; 1 Timothy 2:14). Not certain that εξ- here means "completely deceived" in contrast to simplex (ουκ ηπατηθη) used of Adam, though possible.

Hath fallen (γεγονεν). Second perfect indicative active, permanent state. See 1 Corinthians 11:7.
