Both naked, and not ashamed

καὶ ἦσαν οἱ δύο γυμνοί, ὅ τε Ἀδὰμ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ᾐσχύνοντο.
The chapter's closing line, and its innocence: the man and his wife are γυμνοί, "naked," without ᾐσχύνοντο, "they were ashamed" — a state that the very next verse of the next chapter (3:1, the serpent) will begin to unravel. The Hebrew behind this verse plays on עֲרוּמִּים ("naked") anticipating עָרוּם ("crafty", of the serpent), a pun the Greek does not carry.
