Genesis 2:15-20
New American Standard Bible
15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and tend it. 16 The Lord God (A)commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not [a]eat, for on the day that you eat from it (B)you will certainly die.”
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; (C)I will make him a helper [b]suitable for him.” 19 (D)And out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the sky, and (E)brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all the livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field, but for [c]Adam there was not found (F)a helper [d]suitable for him.
