82. Little did Cain’s wife know that she would be the topic of much controversy and conversation. Many attempts have been made to disprove Genesis and the bible using her.

83. 1 Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain . She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man." 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Gen 4:1-2

84. 13 Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." 15 But the LORD said to him, "Not so ; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the LORD's presence and lived in the land of Nod , east of Eden. 17 Cain lay with his wife , and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. Gen 4:13-17

85. And Jehovah God formed man ( âdâm (aw-dawm): a person, a human being, man, mankind ) of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul . Gen 2:7

86. 12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man , and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men , because all sinned — 13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. Romans 5:12-14

87. 45 So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being“; the last Adam , a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. 1 Cor 15:45-47

88. 21 For since death came through a man , the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man . 22 For as in Adam all die , so in Christ all will be made alive . 1 Cor 15:21-22

89. 20 Adam named his wife Eve , because she would become the mother of all the living . Gen 3:20

91. 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters . 5 Altogether, Adam lived 930 years , and then he died. Gen 5:3-5
