Genesis 6:2-4

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, 4 5because he also is flesh; 6nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4The 7Nephilim were on the earth in those 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.
