1 Timothy 2:13

For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

Cross-reference

Genesis 2:7 Citation

Genesis 2:7 recounts God forming Adam from dust, the very event Paul cites to argue Adam was created first.

Genesis 2:18 shows God deciding to make a helper for Adam, indicating Eve's creation was subsequent—supporting Paul's order claim.

Genesis 2:22 describes Eve being built from Adam's rib, confirming she was created after Adam and reinforcing Paul's point.

In 1 Corinthians 11:8, Paul states woman came from man, the same creation-order argument he makes here for Adam's priority.

1 Corinthians 11:9 says woman was created for man, echoing the helper purpose and supporting the distinction Paul draws in Timothy.
