2	GEN 1:2	The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God moved over the surface of the waters.
3	GEN 1:3	God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light.
4	GEN 1:4	God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5	GEN 1:5	God called the light “day,” and he called the darkness “night.” So there was evening, and then the morning, making day one.
6	GEN 1:6	God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters to divide the waters.”
8	GEN 1:8	God called the expanse, “sky.” So there was evening, and then the morning, making day two.
9	GEN 1:9	God said, “Let the waters below the sky collect together in one place so that the land may appear.” And so it was.
11	GEN 1:11	God said, “Let the earth produce vegetation—plants that produce seeds and trees that produce seeded fruit—each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened.
13	GEN 1:13	So there was evening, and then the morning, making day three.
14	GEN 1:14	God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to separate day from night, and to provide a way to mark seasons, days, and years.
16	GEN 1:16	God created two great lights: the larger one in charge of the day, and the smaller one in charge of the night. He created the stars too.
17	GEN 1:17	God placed these lights in the sky to shine upon the earth,
18	GEN 1:18	to be in charge of the day and in charge of the night, and to separate light from darkness. God saw that it was good.
19	GEN 1:19	So there was evening, and then the morning, making day four.
20	GEN 1:20	God said, “Let the waters be full of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the sky.”
21	GEN 1:21	So God created huge sea creatures and all the living things that swim and fill the waters, each one according to its own kind; and every bird that flies, each one according to its own kind. God saw that it was good.
22	GEN 1:22	God blessed them and said, “Reproduce and increase, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
23	GEN 1:23	So there was evening, and then the morning, making day five.
24	GEN 1:24	God said, “Let the land produce living creatures, each one according to its own kind—the livestock, the creatures that run along the ground, and the wild animals, each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened.
25	GEN 1:25	God made the wild animals, the livestock, and the creatures that run along the ground, all according to their own kind. God saw that it was good.
26	GEN 1:26	God said, “Let us make human beings in our image who are like us. They will have authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over the whole of the earth and every creature that moves on it.”
28	GEN 1:28	God blessed them and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth and control it; exercise authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the earth.”
29	GEN 1:29	God said, “Look, I'm giving you as your food every seed-bearing plant anywhere on earth, and every tree that produces fruit with seeds.
30	GEN 1:30	I'm giving all the green plants to all the land animals, to the birds, and to every creature that moves on the earth—to every living thing.” And that's what happened.
31	GEN 1:31	God saw everything that he had created, and yes, it was very good. So there was evening, and then the morning, making day six.
32	GEN 2:1	The creation of the heavens, the earth, and everything in them was complete.
33	GEN 2:2	By the time the seventh day came, God had finished the work he'd done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work he'd been doing.
34	GEN 2:3	God blessed the seventh day, and set it apart as holy, because he rested from all the work he'd done in creation.
36	GEN 2:5	Up to this point there were no wild plants or crops growing on the earth, because the Lord God hadn't sent rain, and there was no one to cultivate the ground.
38	GEN 2:7	The Lord God shaped the man Adam from the dust of the ground. He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being.
39	GEN 2:8	The Lord planted a garden in Eden, in the east. There he put the man Adam he had created.
40	GEN 2:9	The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow in the garden, beautiful trees and trees producing fruit that's good to eat. The tree of life was in the middle of the garden, along with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
42	GEN 2:11	The first branch was called the Pishon and it flowed through the whole land of Havilah, where gold is found.
47	GEN 2:16	The Lord God ordered Adam, “You are free to eat fruit from every tree in the garden,
48	GEN 2:17	but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because the day you eat from it you are certain to die.”
49	GEN 2:18	Then the Lord God said, “It's not good for Adam to be alone. I will make someone to help him, someone that's like him.”
50	GEN 2:19	The Lord God used the ground to make all the wild animals, and all the birds. He took them all to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam named every living creature.
51	GEN 2:20	Adam gave names to all the livestock, all the birds, and all the wild animals. But Adam didn't find anyone like him who could help him.
53	GEN 2:22	The Lord God made a woman, using the rib he'd taken from Adam, and presented her to Adam.
54	GEN 2:23	“Finally!” said Adam. “Here is bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.”
55	GEN 2:24	This is the reason a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one being.
56	GEN 2:25	Adam and his wife Eve were both naked, but they weren't embarrassed about it.
57	GEN 3:1	The serpent was more cunning than any of the other wild animals that the Lord God had made. He asked Eve, “Did God really say that you can't eat fruit from every tree in the garden?”
58	GEN 3:2	Eve replied to the serpent, “We can eat from the trees in the garden, but not the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden.
59	GEN 3:3	God told us, ‘You mustn't eat from that tree, or even touch it, otherwise you'll die.’”
61	GEN 3:5	“It's because God knows that as soon as you eat it, you'll see things differently, and you'll be like God, knowing both what is good and what is evil.”
62	GEN 3:6	Eve saw that the fruit of the tree appeared good to eat. It looked very attractive. She really wanted it so she could become wise. So she took some of its fruit and ate it, and she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it too.
65	GEN 3:9	The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?”
66	GEN 3:10	“I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid,” he replied.
68	GEN 3:12	“It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied.
69	GEN 3:13	The Lord God asked Eve, “Why have you done this?” “The serpent tricked me, and so I ate it,” she replied.
70	GEN 3:14	Then the Lord God told the serpent, “Because of what you've done, you are cursed more than any of the other animals. You will slide along on your belly and eat dust as long as you live.
71	GEN 3:15	I will make sure you and your children, and the woman and her children, are enemies. One of her children will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
72	GEN 3:16	He told Eve, “I will make pregnancy much more difficult, and giving birth will be very painful. However, you will still desire your husband, but he will have control over you.”
73	GEN 3:17	He told Adam, “Because you did what your wife told you, and ate fruit from the tree after I ordered you, ‘Don't eat fruit from this tree,’ the ground is now cursed because of you. You will have to work painfully hard to grow food from it throughout your whole life.
74	GEN 3:18	It will grow thorns and thistles for you, and you will have to eat wild plants.
76	GEN 3:20	Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to be the mother of all human beings.
78	GEN 3:22	Then the Lord God observed, “Look, the human beings have become like one of us, knowing both what is good and what is evil. Now if they take the fruit from the tree of life and eat it, then they'll live forever!”
80	GEN 3:24	After he drove them out, the Lord God placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden angels and a sword that flashed in every direction. They were to prevent access to the tree of life.
81	GEN 4:1	Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, “With the Lord's help I have made a man.”
82	GEN 4:2	Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a crop farmer.
84	GEN 4:4	Abel also brought an offering: the firstborn lambs of his flock, selecting the very best parts to offer. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering,
85	GEN 4:5	but he wasn't pleased with Cain and his offering, which made Cain very angry and he frowned in annoyance.
86	GEN 4:6	The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? Why do you look so annoyed?
87	GEN 4:7	If you were doing what's right, then you'd be looking happy. But if you don't do what's right, then sin will be like animal crouching outside your home, ready to pounce on you. It wants to have you, but you must be the one in control.”
88	GEN 4:8	Later, when Cain was talking with his brother Abel they went out into the fields where Cain attacked his brother and killed him.
92	GEN 4:12	When you cultivate the ground, it won't produce crops for you. You'll be always on the run, wandering all over the earth.”
94	GEN 4:14	“Look! You're driving me away right now—cursing the ground and banishing me from your presence. I'm going to have to hide and always be on the run, left to wander all over the earth. Anyone who finds me is going to kill me!”
95	GEN 4:15	But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him.
96	GEN 4:16	So Cain left the Lord's presence and went to live in a land called Nod, east of Eden.
97	GEN 4:17	Cain slept with his wife and she became pregnant. She had a son named Enoch. At that time Cain was building a town, so he named it after his son Enoch.
98	GEN 4:18	Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael, Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
99	GEN 4:19	Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was named Zillah.
102	GEN 4:22	Zillah also had a son. He was named Tubal-cain and he was a blacksmith, making different kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain's sister was named Naamah.
103	GEN 4:23	At one time Lamech told his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me. You wives of Lamech, pay attention to what I have to say. I killed a man because he wounded me; I killed a young man because he injured me.
104	GEN 4:24	If the sentence for killing Cain was to be punished seven times over, then if someone kills me, Lamech, the punishment should be seventy-seven times.”
105	GEN 4:25	Adam slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, “God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one Cain killed.”
106	GEN 4:26	Later Seth had a son named Enosh, because at that time people began to worship the Lord by name.
107	GEN 5:1	This is the record of Adam's descendants. When God created human beings, he made them to be like him.
108	GEN 5:2	He created them male and female, and blessed them. On the day he created them he called them “human.”
109	GEN 5:3	When Adam was 130, he had a son who was like him, made in his image; and he named him Seth.
110	GEN 5:4	Adam lived another 800 years after Seth was born, and had other sons and daughters.
111	GEN 5:5	Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.
113	GEN 5:7	Seth lived another 807 years after Enosh was born, and had other sons and daughters.
114	GEN 5:8	Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
116	GEN 5:10	Enosh lived another 815 years after Kenan was born, and had other sons and daughters.
117	GEN 5:11	Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
119	GEN 5:13	Kenan lived another 840 years after Mehalalel was born, and had other sons and daughters.
120	GEN 5:14	Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.
122	GEN 5:16	After Jared was born, Mahalalel lived another 830 years and had other sons and daughters.
123	GEN 5:17	Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died.
125	GEN 5:19	After Enoch was born, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.
126	GEN 5:20	Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
128	GEN 5:22	He had a close relationship with God. After Methuselah was born, Enoch lived another 300 years and had other sons and daughters.
130	GEN 5:24	Enoch had such a close relationship with God that he didn't die, he just wasn't there anymore, because God took him.
132	GEN 5:26	After Lamech was born, Methuselah lived another 782 years and had other sons and daughters.
133	GEN 5:27	Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.
135	GEN 5:29	He named him Noah, with the explanation, “He will provide relief for us from all the hard manual labor we need to do in cultivating the ground the Lord has cursed.”
136	GEN 5:30	After Noah was born, Lamech lived another 595 years and had other sons and daughters.
137	GEN 5:31	Lamech lived a total of 777 years, and then he died.
