Okay, first of all, let us be clear here ...we are talking about the Bible character, Adam.
No, this is not "the Adam" whom I am referring to ...we are not trying to hit the Bonanza with this one, just trying to be Biblically correct.
Job 31:33 ---"If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom ..." (Not a verse for this study.)
Romans 5:12 ---"Therefore just as sin entered the world through one man (referring to Adam), and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned ..."
I Corinthians 15:22 ---"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall be made alive."
I Corinthians 15:45&47 ---"And so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit ...the first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven."
Matthew 19:4-5 ---"And He (Jesus) answered and said unto them, 'Have you not read, that He which made them in the beginning made them male and female', and said, 'for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall twain be one flesh?'" (referenced from 2nd Chapter of Genesis)
Of course, the main verses about Adam first begin near the end of the second Chapter of Genesis, to which Jesus is quoting in the above verse, "Have you not read ..." And after Chapters 3, 4, & 5 ...the mention moves on, telling about Noah in Chapter 6, of which we are all descendants of.
Aside from that the verses that mention Adam: are either genealogies, or First Timothy 2:13-14, to which is not relevant to the study I'm doing here ...and being as the male and female are mentioned, let us not misinterpret why it is mentioned what is mentioned. Missing the point only divides further into confusion, and I believe there is enough confusion in much of this. I just wanted to first present a fair listing of what it is I am attempting to say.
