Acts xvii. 24 GOD that made the World, and all things therein, feeing that he is LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, dwelleth not in Temples

made with Hands:

HUS the Heavens and the Earth were finished, and all the Host of them.

2 And on the seventh Day God ended his Work which he had made: and he rested on the feventh Day from all his Work which he had made.

3 And God blessed the SEVENTH Day, and SANCTIFIED it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his Work, which God created and made.

4 These are the Generations of the HEAVENS, and of the EARTH, when they were created; in the Day that the LORD GOD made the Earth and the Heavens.

5 And every Plant of the Field, before it was in the Earth, and every Herb of the Field, before it grew: for the LORD GODd had not caused it to rain upon the Earth, and there was not a Man to till the Ground.

6 But there went up a Mist from the Earth, and watered the whole Face of the Ground.

14 I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy Works, and that my Soul knoweth right well.

Is My Substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret ; and curiously wrought in the lowest

parts of the Earth.

And the LORD GOD took the Man, and put him into the Garden of Eden, to dress it and to keep it.

* Ezek. xxviii. 13 Thou hast been in Eden the Garden of God.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy Ways from the Day that thou wast created, till Iniquity was found in thee.

16 And the LORD Commanded the Man, faying, Of every Tree of the Garden thou mayst freely eat:

17 But of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and EVIL, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the Day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt SURELY DIE.

18 And the LORD GOD faid, It is not good that the Man should be alone: I will make him an help meet for him.

19 And out of the Ground the LORD GOD formed every Beast of the Field, and every Fowl of the Air, and brought them unto Adam to fee what he would call them and whatfoever Adam called every living Creature, that was the Name thereof.

20 And Adam gave Names to all the Cattle, and to the Fowls of the Air, and to every Beast of the Field: but for Adam there was not found an Help meet for him.

21 And the LORD GOD caused a deep Sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his Ribs, and clofed up the Flesh in stead thereof.

22 And the Rib, which the LORD GOD had taken from Man, made he a Woman, and brought her to the Man.

23 And Adam faid, This is now Bone of my Bones, and Flesh of my Flesh: the shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Cor. xi. 8 The Man is not of the Woman, but the Woman of the

Man.

9 Neither was the Man created for the Woman: but the Woman for

the Man

11 Neither is the Man without the Woman, neither the Woman without

the Man in the LORD.

12 For as the Woman is of the

Man, even fo is the Man also by the
Woman: but all things of GOD.

Ephef. v. 31 For this Cause shalt a Man leave his Father and Mother, and shall be joined unto his Wife, and they two thall be one Fleth.

24 Therefore shall a Man
leave his Father and his Mo-
ther, and shall cleave unto his
Wife: and they shall be one Flesh.

25 And they were both naked, the Man and his Wife, and were not afhamed.
