¹⁸The Lord God also said: “It is not good for the man to be alone. Let us make a helper for him similar to himself.”

²⁴For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.

⁹Therefore, it is better for two to be together, than for one to be alone. For they have the advantage of their companionship.

⁷Similarly, you husbands should live with them in accord with knowledge, bestowing honor on the female as the weaker vessel and as co-heirs of the life of grace, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

³So I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ. But the head of woman is man. Yet truly, the head of Christ is God.

²²He who has found a good wife has found goodness, and he shall draw contentment from the Lord. He who expels a good wife expels goodness. But he who holds on to an adulteress is foolish and impious.

²²And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.

²⁵Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and handed himself over for her,

²⁸So, too, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither servant nor free; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

⁸For man is not of woman, but woman is of man. ⁹And indeed, man was not created for woman, but woman was created for man.

¹A dry morsel with gladness is better than a house full of sacrifices along with conflict.

²⁰And Adam called each of the living things by their names: all the flying creatures of the air, and all the wild beasts of the land. Yet truly, for Adam, there was not found a helper similar to himself.

²²Wives should be submissive to their husbands, as to the Lord.

¹And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment. ²And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished. ³And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make. ⁴These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth, ⁵and every sapling of the field, before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would germinate. For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land. ⁶But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.

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