1/ Eve

• The LORD God formed the man from the dust of
  the ground and breathed into his nostrils the
  breath of life, and the man became a living
  being.
• Genesis 2 vs. 7

1/ Eve

• The LORD God said, "It is not good for
  the man to be alone. I will make a helper
  suitable for him." Now the LORD God had formed
  out of the ground all the beasts of the field and
  all the birds of the air. He brought them to the
  man to see what he would name them and whatever
  the man called each living creature, that was its
  name. So the man gave names to all the
  livestock, the birds of the air and all the
  beasts of the field.       But for Adam no
  suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God
  caused the man to fall into a deep sleep and
  while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's
  ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then
  the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had
  taken out of the man, and he brought her to the
  man.
• The man said,        "This is now bone
  of my bones        and flesh of my flesh
         she shall be called 'woman,        for
  she was taken out of man."
• For this reason a man will leave his
  father and mother
• and be united to his wife, and they will
  become one flesh.

3/ Eunice

• He came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a
  disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was a
  Jewess and a believer, but whose father was a
  Greek. The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke
  well of him.
• Acts 16 vs. 12

3/ Eunice

• I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers
  did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I
  constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling
  your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be
  filled with joy. I have been reminded of your
  sincere faith, which first lived in your
  grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I
  am persuaded, now lives in you also.
• 2 Timothy 1 vs. 3 to 5

3/ Eunice

• You, however, know all about my teaching,
  my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience,
  love, endurance, persecutions, sufferingswhat
  kinds of things happened to me in Antioch,
  Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured.
  Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. In
  fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in
  Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men
  and impostors will go from bad to worse,
  deceiving and being deceived. But as for you,
  continue in what you have learned and have become
  convinced of, because you know those from whom
  you learned it, and how from infancy you have
  known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make
  you wise for salvation through faith in Christ
  Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is
  useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and
  training in righteousness, so that the man of God
  may be thoroughly equipped for every good work

  vs. 10 to 17
