1:1 In the beginning 1 God 2 created 3 the heavens and the earth. 4
1:2 Now 5 the earth 6 was without shape and empty, 7 and darkness 8 was over the surface of the watery deep, 9 but the Spirit of God 10 was moving 11 over the surface 12 of the water. 13
1:27 God created humankind 14 in his own image,
in the image of God he created them, 15
male and female he created them. 16
1:28 God blessed 17 them and said 18 to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! 19 Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.” 20 1:29 Then God said, “I now 21 give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the entire earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 22
1:31 God saw all that he had made – and it was very good! 23 There was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day.
