26 Then God said, (A)“Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; (B)let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [a]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man (C)in His own image; in the image of God He created him; (D)male and female He created them.

New King James Version
4 (A)What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You (B)visit[a] him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than [b]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 (C)You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
(D)You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.

How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

Matthew 22:24-40
New King James Version
24 saying: “Teacher, (A)Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh. 27 Last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are [a]mistaken, (B)not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but (C)are like angels [b]of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 (D)‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the multitudes heard this, (E)they were astonished at His teaching.
The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?(F)
34 (G)But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, (H)a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, (I)“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: (J)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 (K)On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
