The Creation of the World

1 In the ^(A)beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

²⁶ Then God said, ^(A)“Let us make man^[a] in our image, ^(B)after our likeness. And ^(C)let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

⁶⁰ that ^(A)all the peoples of the earth may know that ^(B)the Lord is God; there is no other.

^19 (A)Go therefore and ^(B)make disciples of ^(C)all nations, ^(D)baptizing them ^(E)in^{[a] (F)}the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

⁶ yet ^(A)for us there is one God, the Father, ^(B)from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and ^(C)one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and ^(D)through whom we exist.
