| 1 | GEN 1:1 | In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. |
| 2 | GEN 1:2 | The earth was without form and empty. Darkness was upon the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving above 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 the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness. |
| 5 | GEN 1:5 | God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” This was evening and morning, the first day. |
| 6 | GEN 1:6 | God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” |
| 7 | GEN 1:7 | God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. It was so. |
| 8 | GEN 1:8 | God called the expanse “sky.” This was evening and morning, the second day. |
| 9 | GEN 1:9 | God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear.” It was so. |
| 10 | GEN 1:10 | God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” He saw that it was good. |
| 11 | GEN 1:11 | God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit whose seed is in the fruit, each according to its own kind.” It was so. |
| 12 | GEN 1:12 | The earth produced vegetation, plants producing seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit whose seed was in it, after their kind. God saw that it was good. |
| 13 | GEN 1:13 | This was evening and morning, the third day. |
| 14 | GEN 1:14 | God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to divide the day from the night and let them be as signs, for seasons, for days and years. |
| 15 | GEN 1:15 | Let them be lights in the sky to give light upon the earth.” It was so. |
| 16 | GEN 1:16 | God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. |
| 17 | GEN 1:17 | God set them in the sky to give light upon the earth, |
| 18 | GEN 1:18 | to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. |
