Theodoret of Cyrus — on Rom 7:10 (INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS)

“As soon as God gave Adam and Eve the commandment concerning the trees, the devil came to Eve in the form of a serpent and lied to her. When she saw the beauty of the fruit she ate of it, being overcome by desire, and broke the commandment. Both she and Adam were immediately placed under sentence of death, for Adam too ate the fruit along with her.”
