23 Then the man said, (A)This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called [a]woman, because she was taken out of the man.
24 (B)Therefore shall man leave [b]his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and they were not [c]ashamed.
