Genesis 5:1
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in His own likeness.
2 Male and female He created them, and He blessed them. And in the day they were created, He called them “man.”
3 When Adam was 130 years old, he had a son in his own likeness, after his own image; and he named him Seth.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
