Tobit 8:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ You created Adam and you created Eve his wife to help and support him, and from the two of them has come the human race. You said, ‘It isn’t good for the man to be alone; let’s make for him a helper like himself.’ ⁷ I’m not taking this sister of mine now out of lust but with honest integrity.^[a] Grant that she and I will be shown mercy and grow old together.”
