From the Bible
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 1:27, 31
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17
I belong to my beloved,
and his desire is for me.
Song of Songs 7:10
