Genesis 6:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version

The World Descends Into Evil

6 This is what happened when mankind[a] began to multiply on the face of the earth.[b]

When daughters were born to people, 2 the sons of God[c] saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives for themselves any of them they chose. 3 The Lord said, “My Spirit will not struggle[d] with man forever, because he is only flesh.[e] His days will be 120 years.”
