In the beginning of creation, when God made heaven and earth, the earth was without form and void, with darkness over the face of the abyss, and a mighty wind that swept over the surface of the waters. God said "Let there be light", and there was light;
God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, that everyone who has faith in him may not die but have eternal life. | |
