In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters, and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
...for God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life. | |
