Genesis 6:1-3

1Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

2that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were 1beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

3Then the Lord said, “2My Spirit shall not 3strive with man forever, 45because he also is flesh; 6nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
