Genesis 1:26-27

26 Then God said, ^a“Let us make man ^{▼▼The Hebrew word for man (adam) is the generic term for mankind and becomes the proper name Adam} in our image, ^cafter our likeness. And ^dlet them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
^emale and female he created them.

Genesis 2:7

7 then the Lord God formed the man of ^fdust from the ground and ^gbreathed into his ^hnostrils the breath of life, and ⁱthe man became a living creature.

Genesis 5:1-2

Adam’s Descendants to Noah

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, ^jhe made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man ^{▼▼Hebrew adam} when they were created.

Isaiah 64:8

8 ^lBut now, O Lord, you are our Father;
^mwe are the clay, and you are our potter;
ⁿwe are all the work of your hand.

Acts 17:26-29

26 And ^ohe made from one man every nation of mankind to live ^pon all the face of the earth, ^qhaving determined allotted periods and ^rthe boundaries of their dwelling place, 27 ^sthat they should seek God, ^tand perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. ^uYet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28 for

^v“‘In him we live and move and have our being’; ^{▼▼Probably from Epimenides of Crete}
as even some of ^xyour own poets have said,

“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’ ^{▼▼From Aratus’s poem “Phainomena”}
29 ^zBeing then God’s offspring, ^aawe ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.

1 Corinthians 15:45

45 Thus it is written, ^ab“The first man Adam became a living being”; ^{▼▼Greek a living soul} ^adthe last Adam became a ^aelife-giving spirit.

1 Corinthians 15:47

47 ^afThe first man was from the earth, ^aga man of dust; ^ahthe second man is from heaven.
