The Beginning

In the beginning(A) God created(B) the heavens(C) and the earth.(D) Now the earth was formless(E) and empty,(F) darkness was over the surface of the deep,(G) and the Spirit of God(H) was hovering(I) over the waters.

And God said,(J) “Let there be light,” and there was light.(K) God saw that the light was good,(L) and he separated the light from the darkness.(M) God called(N) the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”(O) And there was evening, and there was morning(P)—the first day.

31 God saw all that he had made,(A) and it was very good.(B) And there was evening, and there was morning(C)—the sixth day.

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.(D)

By the seventh day(E) God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.(F) Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy,(G) because on it he rested(H) from all the work of creating(I) that he had done.
