In the
beginning
was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the
beginning.
John
1
In the
beginning
God created the heavens
and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the
deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said,
"Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the
light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called
the light "day," and the darkness he called "night."
And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day. And God said,
"Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from
water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the
expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse
"sky." And there was evening, and there was morning--the second
day. And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one
place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. God called the dry
ground "land," and the gathered waters he called
"seas." And
God saw that it was good. (NIV)
