Tobit 8:4-8
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
4 When the parents[a] had gone out and shut the door of the room, Tobias got out of bed and said to Sarah,[b] ‘Sister, get up, and let us pray and implore our Lord that he grant us mercy and safety.’ 5 So she got up, and they began to pray and implore that they might be kept safe. Tobias[c] began by saying,
‘Blessed are you, O God of our ancestors,
and blessed is your name in all generations for ever.
Let the heavens and the whole creation bless you for ever.
6 You made Adam, and for him you made his wife Eve
as a helper and support.
From the two of them the human race has sprung.
You said, “It is not good that the man should be alone;
let us make a helper for him like himself.”
7 I now am taking this kinswoman of mine,
not because of lust,
but with sincerity.
Grant that she and I may find mercy
and that we may grow old together.’
8 And they both said, ‘Amen, Amen.’
