In Genesis 2:9, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is identified — the specific tree God warns will bring death in 2:17.

In Genesis 3:1-3, Eve recounts this exact command to the serpent, though she adds 'neither shall you touch it,' which wasn't in God's original words.

Eve quotes God's death warning from the command but exaggerates it, adding 'neither shall you touch it' — overstating what God actually said.

In Genesis 3:4, the serpent directly contradicts God's warning: 'You will not surely die' — the pivotal denial that drives the fall.

In Genesis 3:11, God directly invokes this command in His interrogation: 'Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?'

In Genesis 3:17, God's judgment speech explicitly references this command as what Adam violated: 'the tree of which I commanded you, You shall not eat of it.'

In Genesis 3:19, 'dust you shall return' is the fulfillment of 'you shall surely die' — the promised consequence is here pronounced.

In Genesis 3:5, the serpent directly twists this prohibition — repackaging God's death-warning as a cover for selfish motives.

Ephesians 2:1-6 describes the spiritual death from sin, now made alive in Christ, fulfilling the fall's consequence.

1 Corinthians 15:22 directly names Adam as the source of universal death — the theological consequence first announced in this garden warning.

Colossians 2:13 affirms death in sin and God's act of making alive through forgiveness, paralleling the fall's theme.

Romans 7 describes a commandment meant for life becoming death through sin — the exact mechanism at work when Adam disobeyed the Eden prohibition.

Romans 6:23 distills Eden's principle into a single line: 'the wages of sin is death.' It then adds the gospel counterpoint — life in Christ.

James 1:15 directly outlines how desire leads to sin and death, mirroring the process in Genesis 2:17.

Romans 5 explicitly traces death's entry into humanity through Adam's one act of disobedience — directly unpacking the consequence announced here.

Revelation 20:14 depicts the final eradication of death, resolving the curse introduced in the fall.

In Ezekiel 18:32, God declares He takes no pleasure in anyone's death — reframing the death-consequence theme with an appeal to repent and live. Direct theological contrast.

In Ezekiel 18:13, the one who sins 'shall surely die' — using the same language as God's warning about the forbidden fruit. Verbal and thematic parallel on death for sin.

In Ezekiel 18:4, God declares 'the soul who sins shall die' — directly articulating the principle behind God's original warning. A theological restatement of sin bringing death.

In 2 Kings 1:4, God uses the same 'you shall surely die' formula against King Ahaziah, echoing the original death sentence for disobedience.

Revelation 2:11 introduces the second death, contrasting with the first death from the fall to emphasize victory.

Revelation 20:6 shows the second death has no power over the resurrected, contrasting with the initial death.

In Revelation 21:8, the 'death' warned of here finds its ultimate expression: the second death in the lake of fire for the unfaithful.

1 Corinthians 15:56 says 'the power of sin is the law' — the prohibition here is what gave sin its deadly 'sting' in the first place.

Romans 8:2 announces freedom from 'the law of sin and death' — the very death-sentence principle that began with Adam's transgression here.

Ezekiel 33:14 echoes the 'shall surely die' decree but introduces repentance as an escape — a possibility not offered in Eden's original warning.

Romans 6:16 restates the principle that obedience to sin 'leads to death' — the same dynamic of disobedience producing death announced in Eden.

Romans 1:32 references God's 'decree' that sin deserves death — the principle first established by the prohibition and consequence in Eden.

Ezekiel 33:8 reuses the same 'you shall surely die' warning language from Eden — God's prophetic watchman echoes the original death-sentence for disobedience.

In Ezekiel 3:18-20, God states the wicked will die in their sin — expanding the death-for-sin principle into prophetic accountability. Thematic development of the same core idea.
