²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, ^(B)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” ²⁹ And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. ^(C)You shall have them for food. ³⁰ And ^(D)to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. ^31 (E)And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

^24 (A)Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. ²⁵ And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

² Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man^[a] when they were created.

⁶ But ^(A)from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them ^(B)male and female.’ ^7 (C)‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,^{[a] 8} and ^(D)the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. ^9 (E)What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

⁹ Or do you not know that the unrighteous^[a] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: ^(A)neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,^{[b] 10} nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And ^(B)such were some of you. But ^(C)you were washed, ^(D)you were sanctified, ^(E)you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
