Genesis 1:27-28• So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of
God he created them; male and female he created them.• God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and
increase in number;fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Genesis 2:18, 2418 The LORD God said, “It is not good for
the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and
mother and is united to his wife, and they become
one flesh.

respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can
he take care of God’s church?)”
