When God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth was a desolate waste, with darkness covering the abyss and a tempestuous wind raging over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light!"
For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that no one who believes in him should be lost, but that they should all have eternal life. | |
