a man

²⁷And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.

⁸But if anyone has no concern for his own, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith, and he is worse than an unbeliever.

⁷And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

⁶Many men are called merciful. But who will find a faithful man?

¹³Be vigilant. Stand with faith. Act manfully and be strengthened.

¹²Blessed is the man who suffers temptation. For when he has been proven, he shall receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.

²⁶And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the wild beasts, and the entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.” ²⁷And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.

²⁵Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and handed himself over for her, ²⁶so that he might sanctify her, washing her clean by water and the Word of life, ²⁷so that he might offer her to himself as a glorious Church, not having any spot or wrinkle or any such thing, so that she would be holy and immaculate. ²⁸So, too, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

²⁹which my soul still seeks and has not found. One man among a thousand, I have found; a woman among them all, I have not found.

¹³Be vigilant. Stand with faith. Act manfully and be strengthened. ¹⁴Let all that is yours be immersed in charity.

¹I reached an agreement with my eyes, that I would not so much as think about a virgin.

⁸I will reveal to you, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requires from you, and how to act with judgment, and to love mercy, and to walk carefully with your God.
