Usage: The name Εὔα appears in the New Testament in reference to Eve, the first woman created by God. It is used in discussions of sin and the fall of humanity.

Context: Εὔα, or Eve, is a significant figure in the biblical narrative, primarily known as the first woman created by God. According to the Genesis account, Eve was formed from Adam's rib to be his companion (Genesis 2:21-22). She is central to the story of the Fall, where she is deceived by the serpent and eats the forbidden fruit, subsequently giving it to Adam (Genesis 3:1-6). This act of disobedience led to the introduction of sin into the world, resulting in the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:23-24).

In the New Testament, Eve is mentioned in 2 Corinthians 11:3, where Paul warns the Corinthian church about being led astray from their sincere and pure devotion to Christ, as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning. Additionally, 1 Timothy 2:13-14 references Eve in the context of the creation order and the fall, highlighting her role in the transgression.

Eve's story is foundational to understanding the biblical themes of sin, redemption, and the role of women in God's creation. Her life illustrates the consequences of disobedience but also sets the stage for the promise of redemption through the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15), which Christians interpret as a prophecy of Jesus Christ.
