1 Timothy 2:14

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 2:14 Go To 1 Timothy 2

Augustine of Hippo

AD 430
So, too, we must believe that Adam transgressed the law of God, not because he was deceived into believing that the lie was true but because in obedience to a social compulsion he yielded to Eve, as husband to wife, as the only man in the world to the only woman. It was not without reason that the apostle wrote, “Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived.” He means, no doubt, that Eve accepted the serpent’s word as true, whereas Adam refused to be separated from his partner even in a union of sin. This does not imply that he was on that account any less guilty, since he sinned knowingly and deliberately. .
