In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water. God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. | |
