Chapter Two – Scriptures
26And God said,
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth.
27So God created
man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female
created he them.
28And God blessed
them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the
earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29And God said,
Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all
the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed;
to you it shall be for meat.
Genesis 2:18, 20,
& 22
18And the LORD
God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help
meet for him.
20And Adam gave
names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the
field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man,
made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
2And the woman
said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3But of the fruit
of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4And the serpent
said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5For God doth
know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6And when the
woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the
eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof,
and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of
the garden?
12And the man
said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I
did eat.
16Unto the woman
he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou
shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he
shall rule over thee.
17And unto Adam
he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten
of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it:
cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days
of thy life;
18Thorns also and
thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the
field;
19In the sweat of
thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it
wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
9Two are better
than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10For if they fall,
the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth;
for he hath not another to help him up.
11Again, if two
lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12And if one
prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not
quickly broken.
11When I was a
child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but
when I became a man, I put away childish things.
28There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male
nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
22Wives, submit
yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23For the husband
is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is
the saviour of the body.
24Therefore as
the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in
every thing.
25Husbands,
love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26That he might
sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27That he might
present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such
thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28So ought men to
love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
33Nevertheless
let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the
wife see that she reverence her husband.
18Wives, submit
yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19Husbands, love
your wives, and be not bitter against them.
4Look not every
man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
7Likewise, ye
husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife,
as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life;
that your prayers be not hindered.
3According as his
divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue:
4That they may
teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their
children,
