Genesis 2:16-18
English Standard Version
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (A)you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat[a] of it you (B)shall surely die.”
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; (C)I will make him a helper fit for[b] him.”
