3 | GEN 1:3 | God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light! |
5 | GEN 1:5 | God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” There was evening, and there was morning, marking the first day. |
8 | GEN 1:8 | God called the expanse “sky.” There was evening, and there was morning, a second day. |
9 | GEN 1:9 | God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place and let dry ground appear.” It was so. |
10 | GEN 1:10 | God called the dry ground “land” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” God saw that it was good. |
11 | GEN 1:11 | God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.” It was so. |
15 | GEN 1:15 | and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” It was so. |
20 | GEN 1:20 | God said, “Let the water swarm with swarms of living creatures and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” |
22 | GEN 1:22 | God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” |
24 | GEN 1:24 | God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” It was so. |
26 | GEN 1:26 | Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness, so they may rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move on the earth.” |
28 | GEN 1:28 | God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.” |
30 | GEN 1:30 | And to all the animals of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to all the creatures that move on the ground – everything that has the breath of life in it – I give every green plant for food.” It was so. |
48 | GEN 2:17 | but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will surely die.” |
49 | GEN 2:18 | The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion for him who corresponds to him.” |
54 | GEN 2:23 | Then the man said, “This one at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one will be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” |
57 | GEN 3:1 | Now the serpent was more shrewd than any of the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Is it really true that God said, ‘You must not eat from any tree of the orchard’?” |
59 | GEN 3:3 | but concerning the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the orchard God said, ‘You must not eat from it, and you must not touch it, or else you will die.’” |
61 | GEN 3:5 | for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open and you will be like divine beings who know good and evil.” |
65 | GEN 3:9 | But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” |
66 | GEN 3:10 | The man replied, “I heard you moving about in the orchard, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.” |
67 | GEN 3:11 | And the Lord God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” |
68 | GEN 3:12 | The man said, “The woman whom you gave me, she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.” |
69 | GEN 3:13 | So the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman replied, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.” |
71 | GEN 3:15 | And I will put hostility between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring; her offspring will attack your head, and you will attack her offspring’s heel.” |
72 | GEN 3:16 | To the woman he said, “I will greatly increase your labor pains; with pain you will give birth to children. You will want to control your husband, but he will dominate you.” |
75 | GEN 3:19 | By the sweat of your brow you will eat food until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you will return.” |
78 | GEN 3:22 | And the Lord God said, “Now that the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil, he must not be allowed to stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” |
81 | GEN 4:1 | Now the man had marital relations with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. Then she said, “I have created a man just as the Lord did!” |
87 | GEN 4:7 | Is it not true that if you do what is right, you will be fine? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must subdue it.” |
88 | GEN 4:8 | Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. |
89 | GEN 4:9 | Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he replied, “I don’t know! Am I my brother’s guardian?” |
92 | GEN 4:12 | When you try to cultivate the ground it will no longer yield its best for you. You will be a homeless wanderer on the earth.” |
94 | GEN 4:14 | Look! You are driving me off the land today, and I must hide from your presence. I will be a homeless wanderer on the earth; whoever finds me will kill me.” |
95 | GEN 4:15 | But the Lord said to him, “All right then, if anyone kills Cain, Cain will be avenged seven times as much.” Then the Lord put a special mark on Cain so that no one who found him would strike him down. |
104 | GEN 4:24 | If Cain is to be avenged seven times as much, then Lamech seventy-seven times!” |
105 | GEN 4:25 | And Adam had marital relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son. She named him Seth, saying, “God has given me another child in place of Abel because Cain killed him.” |
108 | GEN 5:2 | He created them male and female; when they were created, he blessed them and named them “humankind.” |
135 | GEN 5:29 | He named him Noah, saying, “This one will bring us comfort from our labor and from the painful toil of our hands because of the ground that the Lord has cursed.” |
141 | GEN 6:3 | So the Lord said, “My spirit will not remain in humankind indefinitely, since they are mortal. They will remain for 120 more years.” |
145 | GEN 6:7 | So the Lord said, “I will wipe humankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth – everything from humankind to animals, including creatures that move on the ground and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them.” |
164 | GEN 7:4 | For in seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the ground every living thing that I have made.” |
201 | GEN 8:17 | Bring out with you all the living creatures that are with you. Bring out every living thing, including the birds, animals, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. Let them increase and be fruitful and multiply on the earth!” |
206 | GEN 8:22 | “While the earth continues to exist, planting time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.” |
212 | GEN 9:6 | “Whoever sheds human blood, by other humans must his blood be shed; for in God’s image God has made humankind.” |
213 | GEN 9:7 | But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; increase abundantly on the earth and multiply on it.” |
217 | GEN 9:11 | I confirm my covenant with you: Never again will all living things be wiped out by the waters of a flood; never again will a flood destroy the earth.” |
222 | GEN 9:16 | When the rainbow is in the clouds, I will notice it and remember the perpetual covenant between God and all living creatures of all kinds that are on the earth.” |
223 | GEN 9:17 | So God said to Noah, “This is the guarantee of the covenant that I am confirming between me and all living things that are on the earth.” |
231 | GEN 9:25 | So he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves he will be to his brothers.” |
233 | GEN 9:27 | May God enlarge Japheth’s territory and numbers! May he live in the tents of Shem and may Canaan be his slave!” |
244 | GEN 10:9 | He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. (That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.”) |
270 | GEN 11:3 | Then they said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” (They had brick instead of stone and tar instead of mortar.) |
271 | GEN 11:4 | Then they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens so that we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise we will be scattered across the face of the entire earth.” |
274 | GEN 11:7 | Come, let’s go down and confuse their language so they won’t be able to understand each other.” |
302 | GEN 12:3 | I will bless those who bless you, but the one who treats you lightly I must curse, and all the families of the earth will bless one another by your name.” |
306 | GEN 12:7 | The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So Abram built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. |
312 | GEN 12:13 | So tell them you are my sister so that it may go well for me because of you and my life will be spared on account of you.” |
318 | GEN 12:19 | Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Here is your wife! Take her and go!” |
328 | GEN 13:9 | Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself now from me. If you go to the left, then I’ll go to the right, but if you go to the right, then I’ll go to the left.” |
336 | GEN 13:17 | Get up and walk throughout the land, for I will give it to you.” |
357 | GEN 14:20 | Worthy of praise is the Most High God, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything. |
358 | GEN 14:21 | Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and take the possessions for yourself.” |
361 | GEN 14:24 | I will take nothing except compensation for what the young men have eaten. As for the share of the men who went with me – Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre – let them take their share.” |
362 | GEN 15:1 | After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram! I am your shield and the one who will reward you in great abundance.” |
363 | GEN 15:2 | But Abram said, “O sovereign Lord, what will you give me since I continue to be childless, and my heir is Eliezer of Damascus?” |
364 | GEN 15:3 | Abram added, “Since you have not given me a descendant, then look, one born in my house will be my heir!” |
365 | GEN 15:4 | But look, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be your heir, but instead a son who comes from your own body will be your heir.” |
366 | GEN 15:5 | The Lord took him outside and said, “Gaze into the sky and count the stars – if you are able to count them!” Then he said to him, “So will your descendants be.” |
368 | GEN 15:7 | The Lord said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.” |
369 | GEN 15:8 | But Abram said, “O sovereign Lord, by what can I know that I am to possess it?” |
370 | GEN 15:9 | The Lord said to him, “Take for me a heifer, a goat, and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon.” |
377 | GEN 15:16 | In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit.” |
382 | GEN 15:21 | Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.” |
384 | GEN 16:2 | So Sarai said to Abram, “Since the Lord has prevented me from having children, have sexual relations with my servant. Perhaps I can have a family by her.” Abram did what Sarai told him. |
387 | GEN 16:5 | Then Sarai said to Abram, “You have brought this wrong on me! I allowed my servant to have sexual relations with you, but when she realized that she was pregnant, she despised me. May the Lord judge between you and me!” |
388 | GEN 16:6 | Abram said to Sarai, “Since your servant is under your authority, do to her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai treated Hagar harshly, so she ran away from Sarai. |
390 | GEN 16:8 | He said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I’m running away from my mistress, Sarai.” |
392 | GEN 16:10 | I will greatly multiply your descendants,” the Lord’s angel added, “so that they will be too numerous to count.” |
394 | GEN 16:12 | He will be a wild donkey of a man. He will be hostile to everyone, and everyone will be hostile to him. He will live away from his brothers.” |
395 | GEN 16:13 | So Hagar named the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen one who sees me!” |
400 | GEN 17:2 | Then I will confirm my covenant between me and you, and I will give you a multitude of descendants.” |
406 | GEN 17:8 | I will give the whole land of Canaan – the land where you are now residing – to you and your descendants after you as a permanent possession. I will be their God.” |
412 | GEN 17:14 | Any uncircumcised male who has not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin will be cut off from his people – he has failed to carry out my requirement.” |
414 | GEN 17:16 | I will bless her and will give you a son through her. I will bless her and she will become a mother of nations. Kings of countries will come from her!” |
415 | GEN 17:17 | Then Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground and laughed as he said to himself, “Can a son be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?” |
416 | GEN 17:18 | Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live before you!” |
419 | GEN 17:21 | But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.” |
430 | GEN 18:5 | And let me get a bit of food so that you may refresh yourselves since you have passed by your servant’s home. After that you may be on your way.” “All right,” they replied, “you may do as you say.” |
431 | GEN 18:6 | So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick! Take three measures of fine flour, knead it, and make bread.” |
434 | GEN 18:9 | Then they asked him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” He replied, “There, in the tent.” |
435 | GEN 18:10 | One of them said, “I will surely return to you when the season comes round again, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” (Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, not far behind him. |
437 | GEN 18:12 | So Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, “After I am worn out will I have pleasure, especially when my husband is old too?” |
439 | GEN 18:14 | Is anything impossible for the Lord? I will return to you when the season comes round again and Sarah will have a son.” |
440 | GEN 18:15 | Then Sarah lied, saying, “I did not laugh,” because she was afraid. But the Lord said, “No! You did laugh.” |
444 | GEN 18:19 | I have chosen him so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just. Then the Lord will give to Abraham what he promised him.” |
446 | GEN 18:21 | that I must go down and see if they are as wicked as the outcry suggests. If not, I want to know.” |
450 | GEN 18:25 | Far be it from you to do such a thing – to kill the godly with the wicked, treating the godly and the wicked alike! Far be it from you! Will not the judge of the whole earth do what is right?” |
451 | GEN 18:26 | So the Lord replied, “If I find in the city of Sodom fifty godly people, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” |
453 | GEN 18:28 | what if there are five less than the fifty godly people? Will you destroy the whole city because five are lacking?” He replied, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.” |
