⁷ Then the Lord God formed^(A) a man^[a](B) from the dust^(C) of the ground^(D) and breathed into his nostrils the breath^(E) of life,^(F) and the man became a living being.^(G)

⁴⁷ The first man was of the dust of the earth;^(A) the second man is of heaven.^(B)

⁴⁵ So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”^[a];^(A) the last Adam,^(B) a life-giving spirit.^(C)

²⁶ From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.^{(A) 27} God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.^{(B) 28} ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’^[a](C) As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’^[b]

²⁹ “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill.^(D)

²⁵ Adam made love to his wife^(A) again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,^[a](B) saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”^{(C) 26} Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.^(D)

At that time people began to call on^[b] the name of the Lord.^(E)

From Adam to Noah

5 This is the written account^(F) of Adam’s family line.^(G)

When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God.^{(H) 2} He created them^(I) male and female^(J) and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind”^[c] when they were created.

³ When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image;^(K) and he named him Seth.^(L)
