⁴ Bihaen Jehovah wakem Eve, hem tekem hem long Adam, and hem kamap waef bilong hem. Then Jehovah sei: “Man bae lusim dadi and mami bilong hem and hem bae stap olowe witim waef bilong hem. Tufala bae kamap wanfala body nomoa.” (Gen. 2:24) Bat iumi evriwan no perfect. (Rome 3:23) Dastawe taem man and woman marit, bae tufala kasem olketa hard taem. Olsem example, taem gele no marit yet hem savve obeyim dadi and mami bilong hem. Bat Bible sei bihaen hem marit, hasband nao hem hed bilong hem.
