Genesis 1
1
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2
The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3
God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.
4
God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.
5
God called the light 'day', and the darkness he called 'night'. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
26
God said, 'Let's make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'
27
God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
31
God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
