²⁷ And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.

⁴ And he answering said to them, `Did ye not read, that He who made `them', from the beginning a male and a female made them,

⁶ but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;

¹⁰ for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

¹ This `is' an account of the births of Adam: In the day of God's preparing man, in the likeness of God He hath made him;

² a male and a female He hath prepared them, and He blesseth them, and calleth their name Man, in the day of their being prepared.

⁷ Every one who is called by My name, Even for My honour I have created him, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.

²² And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man;

²³ and the man saith, `This `is' the `proper' step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;

²⁵ And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
