| Genesis Chapter 2; vv 18-24 | |
| 18 | The Lord God said, "It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." |
| 19 | Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name |
| 20 | So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam, no suitable helper was found. |
| 21 | So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. |
| 22 | Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. |
| 23 | The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called 'woman' for she was taken out of man." |
| 24 | For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and they will become one flesh |

| Matthew 5 v1-10 | |
| 1 | When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. |
| 2 | Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: |
| 3 | "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| 4 | Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. |
| 5 | Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. |
| 6 | Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. |
| 7 | Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. |
| 8 | Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. |
| 9 | Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. |
| 10 | Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." |
