The Creation

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

The Creation of Man and Woman

This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.

The Whole Creation Invoked to Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights!

But from the beginning of creation, God created them male and female.

For those days will be such a time of tribulation as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will again.

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God.

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope

that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation:

if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things having come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hands, that is, not of this creation;

and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue just as they were from the beginning of creation.”
