Bible: Genesis 1:28; 3:15-19

1:28 God blessed 1  them and said 2  to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! 3  Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.” 4 

3:15 And I will put hostility 1  between you and the woman

and between your offspring and her offspring; 2 

her offspring will attack 3  your head,

and 4  you 5  will attack her offspring’s heel.” 6 

3:16 To the woman he said,

I will greatly increase 7  your labor pains; 8 

with pain you will give birth to children.

You will want to control your husband, 9 

but he will dominate 10  you.”

3:17 But to Adam 11  he said,

Because you obeyed 12  your wife

and ate from the tree about which I commanded you,

‘You must not eat from it,’

cursed is the ground 13  thanks to you; 14 

in painful toil you will eat 15  of it all the days of your life.

3:18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,

but you will eat the grain 16  of the field.

3:19 By the sweat of your brow 17  you will eat food

until you return to the ground, 18 

for out of it you were taken;

for you are dust, and to dust you will return.” 19
