25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
25 The two of them, the Man and his Wife, were naked, but they felt no shame.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
25 Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 2:25
Commentary on Genesis 2:18-25
(Read Genesis 2:18-25)
Power over the creatures was given to man, and as a proof of this he named them all. It also shows his insight into the works of God. But though he was lord of the creatures, yet nothing in this world was a help meet for man. From God are all our helpers. If we rest in God, he will work all for good. God caused deep sleep to fall on Adam; while he knows no sin, God will take care that he shall feel no pain. God, as her Father, brought the woman to the man, as his second self, and a help meet for him. That wife, who is of God's making by special grace, and of God's bringing by special providence, is likely to prove a help meet for a man. See what need there is, both of prudence and prayer in the choice of this relation, which is so near and so lasting. That had need to be well done, which is to be done for life. Our first parents needed no clothes for covering against cold or heat, for neither could hurt them: they needed none for ornament. Thus easy, thus happy, was man in his state of innocency. How good was God to him! How many favours did he load him with! How easy were the laws given to him! Yet man, being in honour, understood not his own interest, but soon became as the beasts that perish.
