In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. | |
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. | |
