1 Και συνετελεσθησαν ο ουρανος και η γη και πασα η στρατια αυτων.

2 Και ειχε συντετελεσμενα ο Θεος εν τη ημερα τη εβδομη τα εργα αυτου, τα οποια εκαμε· και ανεπαυθη την ημεραν την εβδομην απο παντων των εργων αυτου, τα οποια εκαμε.

3 Και ευλογησεν ο Θεος την ημεραν την εβδομην και ηγιασεν αυτην· διοτι εν αυτη ανεπαυθη απο παντων των εργων αυτου, τα οποια εκτισε και εκαμεν ο Θεος.

4 Αυτη ειναι η γενεσις του ουρανου και της γης, οτε εκτισθησαν αυτα, καθ' ην ημεραν εποιησε Κυριος ο Θεος γην και ουρανον,

5 και παντα τα φυτα του αγρου, πριν γεινωσιν επι της γης, και παντα χορτον του αγρου, πριν βλαστηση· διοτι δεν ειχε βρεξει Κυριος ο Θεος επι της γης, και ανθρωπος δεν ητο δια να εργαζηται την γην

6 · ο ατμος δε ανεβαινεν απο της γης και εποτιζε παν το προσωπον της γης.

7 Και επλασε Κυριος ο Θεος τον ανθρωπον απο χωματος εκ της γης. και ενεφυσησεν εις τους μυκτηρας αυτου πνοην ζωης, και εγεινεν ο ανθρωπος εις ψυχην ζωσαν.

8 Και εφυτευσε Κυριος ο Θεος παραδεισον εν τη Εδεμ κατα ανατολας και εθεσεν εκει τον ανθρωπον, τον οποιον επλασε.

9 Και Κυριος ο Θεος εκαμε να βλαστηση εκ της γης παν δενδρον ωραιον εις την ορασιν και καλον εις την γευσιν· και το ξυλον της ζωης εν μεσω του παραδεισου και το ξυλον της γνωσεως του καλου και του κακου.

10 Ποταμος δε εξηρχετο εκ της Εδεμ δια να ποτιζη τον παραδεισον· και εκειθεν εμεριζετο εις τεσσαρας κλαδους.

11 Το ονομα του ενος, Φισων· ουτος ειναι ο περικυκλονων πασαν την γην Αβιλα· οπου ευρισκεται το χρυσιον·

12 το δε χρυσιον της γης εκεινης ειναι καλον· εκει ειναι το βδελλιον και ο λιθος ο ονυχιτης.

13 Και το ονομα του ποταμου του δευτερου, Γιων· ουτος ειναι ο περικυκλονων πασαν την γην Χους.

14 Και το ονομα του ποταμου του τριτου, Τιγρις· ουτος ειναι ο ρεων προς ανατολας της Ασσυριας. Ο δε ποταμος ο τεταρτος, ουτος ειναι ο Ευφρατης.

15 Και ελαβε Κυριος ο Θεος τον ανθρωπον και εθεσεν αυτον εν τω παραδεισω της Εδεμ δια να εργαζηται αυτον και να φυλαττη αυτον.

16 Προσεταξε δε Κυριος ο Θεος εις τον Αδαμ λεγων, Απο παντος δενδρου του παραδεισου ελευθερως θελεις τρωγει,

17 απο δε του ξυλου της γνωσεως του καλου και του κακου δεν θελεις φαγει απ' αυτου· διοτι καθ' ην ημεραν φαγης απ' αυτου, θελεις εξαπαντος αποθανει.

18 Και ειπε Κυριος ο Θεος, Δεν ειναι καλον να ηναι ο ανθρωπος μονος· θελω καμει εις αυτον βοηθον ομοιον με αυτον.

19 Επλασε δε Κυριος ο Θεος εκ της γης παντα τα ζωα του αγρου και παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου, και εφερεν αυτα προς τον Αδαμ, δια να ιδη πως να ονομαση αυτα· και ο, τι ονομα ηθελε δωσει ο Αδαμ εις παν εμψυχον, τουτο να ηναι το ονομα αυτου.

20 Και εδωκεν ο Αδαμ ονοματα εις παντα τα κτηνη και εις τα πτηνα του ουρανου και εις παντα τα ζωα του αγρου· εις δε τον Αδαμ δεν ευρισκετο βοηθος ομοιος με αυτον.

21 Και επεβαλε Κυριος ο Θεος εκστασιν επι τον Αδαμ, και εκοιμηθη· και ελαβε μιαν εκ των πλευρων αυτου και εκλεισε με σαρκα τον τοπον αυτης.

22 Και κατεσκευασε Κυριος ο Θεος την πλευραν, την οποιαν ελαβεν απο του Αδαμ, εις γυναικα και εφερεν αυτην προς τον Αδαμ.

23 Και ειπεν ο Αδαμ, Τουτο ειναι τωρα οστουν εκ των οστεων μου και σαρξ εκ της σαρκος μου· αυτη θελει ονομασθη ανδρις, διοτι εκ του ανδρος αυτη εληφθη.

24 Δια τουτο θελει αφησει ο ανθρωπος τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα αυτου, και θελει προσκολληθη εις την γυναικα αυτου· και θελουσιν εισθαι οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν.

25 Ησαν δε και οι δυο γυμνοι, ο Αδαμ και η γυνη αυτου, και δεν ησχυνοντο.

What the Bible says about... Marriage and Spirituality

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff, John Odhner
A bride, dressed for her wedding, looks out a window.

People who are truly in love know that marriage is one of the greatest blessings the Lord has given people. But there's a lot of confusion and doubt about marriage these days. Let's take a look at what the Bible says about it, beginning at the very beginning. The very fact that the Lord has created us male and female (Genesis 1:27) seems to indicate that marriage is the intended condition for people.

In the Adam and Eve story, the Lord says, "It is not good that the man should be alone." (Genesis 2:18). Therefore, He creates Eve. It's a very ancient story that depicts marriage as one of God's blessings for humanity, part of his plan for people.

God's blessing on the first marriage makes this even more clear: "And God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply.'" (Genesis 1:28)

Not only does marriage have the Lord's blessing - it is also phrased as a commandment in this passage from the prophet Jeremiah: "Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel.... Take wives and beget sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters--that you may be increased there, and not diminished.'" (Jeremiah 29:6)

King Solomon said, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord." (Proverbs 18:22)

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus has a telling response to the Pharisees who are quizzing him about divorce:

Jesus answered, "Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female', and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate'." (Matthew 19:4-6)

In the text of the Bible, there are also frequent references to a marriage between the Lord and His Church, where the church is made up of the people who love the Lord and follow his commandments. This is a different sort of marriage than the one between husband and wife, but some of the same ideals of love and reciprocity and conjunction are presented.

"As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you." (Isaiah 62:5)

"Your Maker is your husband: The Lord of Hosts is His name." (Isaiah 54:5)

"'Turn, O backsliding children,' says the Lord, 'for I am married to you.'" (Jeremiah 3:14)

"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." (Revelation 19:7).

See also Jeremiah 31:32; Isaiah 49:18, 61:10; Jeremiah 2:32; Hosea 2:2; Ezekiel 16; Matthew 22:2-9; 25:1-10; Luke 5:34; Revelation 21:2, 9; 22:17, etc.

From all this, it seems pretty clear that there's strong support in the Bible for marriage.

That said, there are also some passages that have led people in other directions. In some of Paul's letters, there are some things which can be taken to mean that marriage is less chaste than celibacy. In answering a question from the Saduccees, Jesus says that in heaven, they neither marry nor are given in marriage. What did he mean by that? We will dig into these issues in separate topics, or in an extension to this one... but, overall, the Bible's pretty clear that marriage is part of the Lord's design for us, and that our physical, earthly marriages represent a spiritual marriage, too.
