Genesis 6:2-4

2that the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were 1beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3Then the Lord said, “2My Spirit will not 3remain with man forever, 45because he is also flesh; 6nevertheless his days shall be 120 years.” 4The 78Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of mankind, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
