⊢ ∃𝑧∀𝑤((𝑤 = 𝑥 ∨ 𝑤 = 𝑦) → 𝑤 ∈ 𝑧)
Axiom	ax-pr 5406*	The Axiom of Pairing of ZF set theory. It was derived as Theorem axpr 5400 above and is therefore redundant, but we state it as a separate axiom here so that its uses can be identified more easily. (Contributed by NM, 14-Nov-2006.)
⊢ ∃𝑧∀𝑤((𝑤 = 𝑥 ∨ 𝑤 = 𝑦) → 𝑤 ∈ 𝑧)
Theorem	zfpair2 5407	Derive the abbreviated version of the Axiom of Pairing from ax-pr 5406. See zfpair 5394 for its derivation from the other axioms. (Contributed by NM, 14-Nov-2006.)

⊢ ∃𝑧∀𝑤((𝑤 = 𝐴 ∨ 𝑤 = 𝐵) → 𝑤 ∈ 𝑧)
Theorem	prex 5411	The Axiom of Pairing using class variables. Theorem 7.13 of [Quine] p. 51. By virtue of its definition, an unordered pair remains a set (even though no longer a pair) even when its components are proper classes (see prprc 4734), so we can dispense with hypotheses requiring them to be sets. (Contributed by NM, 15-Jul-1993.) Avoid ax-nul 5270 and shorten proof. (Revised by GG, 6-Mar-2026.)
⊢ {𝐴, 𝐵} ∈ V
Theorem	snex 5412	A singleton is a set. Theorem 7.12 of [Quine] p. 51, proved using Extensionality, Separation and Pairing. See also snexALT 5356. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 19-May-2013.) Avoid ax-nul 5270 and shorten proof. (Revised by GG, 6-Mar-2026.)
⊢ {𝐴} ∈ V
Theorem	snexg 5413	A singleton built on a set is a set. Special case of snex 5412 which is intuitionistically valid. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 19-May-2013.) Extract from snex 5412 and shorten proof. (Revised by BJ, 15-Jan-2025.) (Proof shortened by GG, 6-Mar-2026.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → {𝐴} ∈ V)
Theorem	snexgALT 5414	Alternate proof of snexg 5413 based on vsnex 5408, which uses an instance of ax-sep 5258. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 19-May-2013.) Extract from snex 5412 and shorten proof. (Revised by BJ, 15-Jan-2025.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → {𝐴} ∈ V)
Theorem	snexOLD 5415	Obsolete version of snex 5412 as of 6-Mar-2026. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 19-May-2013.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {𝐴} ∈ V
Theorem	prexOLD 5416	Obsolete version of prex 5411 as of 6-Mar-2026. (Contributed by NM, 15-Jul-1993.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {𝐴, 𝐵} ∈ V
Theorem	exel 5417*	There exist two sets, one a member of the other. This theorem looks similar to el 5421, but its meaning is different. It only depends on the axioms ax-mp 5 to ax-4 1839, ax-6 1997, and ax-pr 5406. This theorem does not exclude that these two sets could actually be one single set containing itself. That two different sets exist is proved by exexneq 5418. (Contributed by SN, 23-Dec-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∃𝑥 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦
Theorem	exexneq 5418*	There exist two different sets. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2404. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-8 2145. (Revised by SN, 21-Sep-2023.) Avoid ax-12 2213. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) Use ax-pr 5406 instead of ax-pow 5338. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 3-Dec-2024.) Extract this result from the proof of dtru 5420. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∃𝑦 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	exneq 5419*	Given any set (the "𝑦 " in the statement), there exists a set not equal to it. The same statement without disjoint variable condition is false, since we do not have ∃𝑥¬ 𝑥 = 𝑥. This theorem is proved directly from set theory axioms (no class definitions) and does not depend on ax-ext 2735, ax-sep 5258, or ax-pow 5338 nor auxiliary logical axiom schemes ax-10 2176 to ax-13 2404. See dtruALT 5361 for a shorter proof using more axioms, and dtruALT2 5343 for a proof using ax-pow 5338 instead of ax-pr 5406. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2404. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-8 2145. (Revised by SN, 21-Sep-2023.) Avoid ax-12 2213. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) Use ax-pr 5406 instead of ax-pow 5338. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 3-Dec-2024.) Extract this result from the proof of dtru 5420. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ∃𝑥 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	dtru 5420*	Given any set (the "𝑦 " in the statement), not all sets are equal to it. The same statement without disjoint variable condition is false since it contradicts stdpc6 2058. The same comments and revision history concerning axiom usage as in exneq 5419 apply. See dtruALT 5361 and dtruALT2 5343 for alternate proofs avoiding ax-pr 5406. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Extract exneq 5419 as an intermediate result. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	el 5421*	Any set is an element of some other set. See elALT 5425 for a shorter proof using more axioms, and see elALT2 5342 for a proof that uses ax-9 2153 and ax-pow 5338 instead of ax-pr 5406. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.) Use ax-pr 5406 instead of ax-9 2153 and ax-pow 5338. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 2-Dec-2024.) (Proof shortened by Matthew House, 6-Apr-2026.)
⊢ ∃𝑦 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦

⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∃𝑥 𝐴 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	selsALT 5424*	Alternate proof of sels 5423, requiring ax-sep 5258 but not using el 5421 (which is proved from it as elALT 5425). (especially when the proof of el 5421 is inlined in sels 5423). (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) Generalize from the proof of elALT 5425. (Revised by BJ, 3-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∃𝑥 𝐴 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	elALT 5425*	Alternate proof of el 5421, shorter but requiring ax-sep 5258. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
