Genesis 1:2-5
New American Standard Bible
2 And the earth was a (A)[a]formless and desolate emptiness, and (B)darkness was over the [b]surface of the deep, and (C)the Spirit of God (D)was hovering over the [c]surface of the waters. 3 Then (E)God said, “[d]Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was (F)good; and God (G)separated the light from the darkness. 5 (H)God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And (I)there was evening and there was morning, one day.
