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. Genesis

Let your light shine before men, that they may
see your good deeds and praise your Father in
heaven. Matthew 516
17
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.
Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone
who asks you to give the reason for the hope
that you have. But do this with gentleness and
respect 1 Peter 315
18
Build houses and settle down plant gardens and
eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and
daughters find wives for your sons and give your
daughters in marriage, so that they too may have
sons and daughters. Increase in number there do
not decrease.
19
Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city
to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to
the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you
too will prosper. Jeremiah 295-7
