Genesis 4:17-26

17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. 

18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech. 

19 And Lamech took two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 

20 Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 

21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. 

22 Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. 

23 Lamech said to his wives: 

“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; 

you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say: 

I have killed a man for wounding me, 

a young man for striking me. 

24 If Cain’s revenge is sevenfold, 

then Lamech’s is seventy-sevenfold.” 

25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, “God has appointed for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.” 

26 To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call upon the name of the Lord. 

Genesis 5:1-2

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 

2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.

Psalm 127:1

1 Unless the Lord builds the house, 

those who build it labor in vain. 

Unless the Lord watches over the city, 

the watchman stays awake in vain. 

Matthew 16:18

18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 

John 3:6-7

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 

7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 

Romans 12:1-2

1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 

2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. 

2 Timothy 3:1-5

1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 

2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 

3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 

4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 

5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 

1 John 2:17

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 

16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 

17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. 

1 Peter 2:9-10

9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 

10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
