| See note 121 in ch. 3. Man should enjoy God’s provision for his living and the marriage life for man’s existence and multiplication (vv. 7-10) to replenish the earth (Gen. 1:28) that it may be possible for God to save some men in order to produce the church—the Body of Christ—which will issue in the New Jerusalem as God’s eternal enlargement and expression according to God’s eternal economy.
