John 1:1-14

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 He was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 

John's Witness: The True Light

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. 

10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 

The Word Becomes Flesh

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,

and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,

full of grace and truth. NKJV

Genesis 1:1-27

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness

was on the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 
3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good;

and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.

So the evening and the morning were the first day. 
6 Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,

and let it divide the waters from the waters."

7 Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters

which were under the firmament from the waters

which were above the firmament;

and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven.

So the evening and the morning were the second day. 
9 Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place,

and let the dry land appear";

and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth,

and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas.

And God saw that it was good. 
11 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed,

and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth";

and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind,

and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind.

And God saw that it was good.

13 So the evening and the morning were the third day. 
14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens

to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons,

and for days and years;

15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth";

and it was so.

16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day,

and the lesser light to rule the night.

He made the stars also.

17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,

18 and to rule over the day and over the night,

and to divide the light from the darkness.

And God saw that it was good.

19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 
20 Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures,

and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens."

21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves,

with which the waters abounded, according to their kind,

and every winged bird according to its kind.

And God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply,

and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 
24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind:

cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind";

and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind,

cattle according to its kind,

and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind.

And God saw that it was good. 
26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;

let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle,

over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

27 So God created man in His own image;

in the image of God He created him;

male and female He created them.  NKJV
