Genesis 6:3-5
New King James Version
3 And the Lord said, (A)“My Spirit shall not (B)strive[a] with man forever, (C)for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were [b]giants on the earth in those (D)days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 Then [c]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every (E)intent[d] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil [e]continually.
