Text: 1 Corinthians 15:12-23. “Just as every one dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life,” (verse 22 LASB).

Text: Genesis 2:10-18. “…It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him,” (verse 18). Again this shows a difference in roles in the original creation.
