A Companion for Adam
Then the Lord God said, “I see that it is not good for the man to be alone. I will make the companion he needs, one just right for him.”

Adam named his wife Eve. He gave her this name because Eve would be the mother of everyone who ever lived.

Adam and Eve Have a New Son

The History of Adam’s Family
This is the history of Adam’s family. When God created people, he made them like himself.
-
After Adam was 130 years old, he had another son. This son looked just like Adam. Adam named his son Seth.
-
After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.
-
So Adam lived a total of 930 years; then he died.

immediately the water stopped flowing and piled up like a wall. The water piled up high a long way up the river—all the way to Adam (a town near Zarethan). And the water flowing down to the sea of Arabah (the Dead Sea) was completely cut off. The people crossed the river near Jericho.

Family History From Adam to Noah
The first generations of people were Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah.
-
“You know that the joy of the wicked does not last long. That has been true a long time, ever since Adam was put on earth. Those who don’t know God are happy for only a short time.
-
But the people broke the agreement as Adam did. They were unfaithful to me in their country.
-
Cainan was the son of Enos. Enos was the son of Seth. Seth was the son of Adam. Adam was the son of God.

Adam and Christ
Sin came into the world because of what one man did. And with sin came death. So this is why all people must die—because all people have sinned.
-
But from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, everyone had to die. Adam died because he sinned by not obeying God’s command. But even those who did not sin that same way had to die. That one man, Adam, can be compared to Christ, the one who was coming in the future.
-
But God’s free gift is not like Adam’s sin. Many people died because of the sin of that one man. But the grace that people received from God was much greater. Many received God’s gift of life by the grace of this other man, Jesus Christ.
-
After Adam sinned once, he was judged guilty. But the gift of God is different. His free gift came after many sins, and it makes people right with him.
-
So that one sin of Adam brought the punishment of death to all people. But in the same way, Christ did something so good that it makes all people right with God. And that brings them true life.
-
The law was brought in so that more people would sin the way Adam did. But where sin increased, there was even more of God’s grace.
-
I mean that in Adam all of us die. And in the same way, in Christ all of us will be made alive again.
-
As the Scriptures say, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” But the last Adam is a life-giving spirit.
-
because Adam was made first. Eve was made later.
-
Also, Adam was not the one who was tricked. It was the woman who was tricked and became a sinner.
