2 | GEN 1:2 | Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water. |
4 | GEN 1:4 | God saw that the light was good, so God separated the light from the darkness. |
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. |
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. |
12 | GEN 1:12 | The land produced vegetation – plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. God saw that it was good. |
14 | GEN 1:14 | God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs to indicate seasons and days and years, |
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. |
17 | GEN 1:17 | God placed the lights in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth, |
18 | GEN 1:18 | to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. |
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.” |
21 | GEN 1:21 | God created the great sea creatures and every living and moving thing with which the water swarmed, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. God saw that it was good. |
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. |
25 | GEN 1:25 | God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the cattle according to their kinds, and all the creatures that creep along the ground according to their kinds. God saw that it was good. |
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.” |
27 | GEN 1:27 | God created humankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them. |
33 | GEN 2:2 | By the seventh day God finished the work that he had been doing, and he ceased on the seventh day all the work that he had been doing. |
34 | GEN 2:3 | God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he ceased all the work that he had been doing in creation. |
40 | GEN 2:9 | The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow from the soil, every tree that was pleasing to look at and good for food. (Now the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were in the middle of the orchard.) |
46 | GEN 2:15 | The Lord God took the man and placed him in the orchard in Eden to care for it and to maintain it. |
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.” |
52 | GEN 2:21 | So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep, he took part of the man’s side and closed up the place with flesh. |
53 | GEN 2:22 | Then the Lord God made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. |
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.” |
56 | GEN 2:25 | The man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed. |
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.” |
62 | GEN 3:6 | When the woman saw that the tree produced fruit that was good for food, was attractive to the eye, and was desirable for making one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some of it to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. |
63 | GEN 3:7 | Then the eyes of both of them opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. |
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?” |
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.” |
73 | GEN 3:17 | But to Adam he said, “Because you obeyed your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ cursed is the ground thanks to you; in painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. |
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.” |
77 | GEN 3:21 | The Lord God made garments from skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. |
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.” |
79 | GEN 3:23 | So the Lord God expelled him from the orchard in Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. |
82 | GEN 4:2 | Then she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel took care of the flocks, while Cain cultivated the ground. |
84 | GEN 4:4 | But Abel brought some of the firstborn of his flock – even the fattest of them. And the Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering, |
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?” |
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. |
99 | GEN 4:19 | Lamech took two wives for himself; the name of the first was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. |
100 | GEN 4:20 | Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the first of those who live in tents and keep livestock. |
102 | GEN 4:22 | Now Zillah also gave birth to Tubal-Cain, who heated metal and shaped all kinds of tools made of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. |
103 | GEN 4:23 | Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah! Listen to me! You wives of Lamech, hear my words! I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for hurting me. |
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.” |
107 | GEN 5:1 | This is the record of the family line of Adam. When God created humankind, he made them in the likeness of God. |
108 | GEN 5:2 | He created them male and female; when they were created, he blessed them and named them “humankind.” |
109 | GEN 5:3 | When Adam had lived 130 years he fathered a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and he named him Seth. |
128 | GEN 5:22 | After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God for 300 years, and he had other sons and daughters. |
130 | GEN 5:24 | Enoch walked with God, and then he disappeared because God took him away. |
139 | GEN 6:1 | When humankind began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, |
140 | GEN 6:2 | the sons of God saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful. Thus they took wives for themselves from any they chose. |
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.” |
142 | GEN 6:4 | The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after this) when the sons of God were having sexual relations with the daughters of humankind, who gave birth to their children. They were the mighty heroes of old, the famous men. |
143 | GEN 6:5 | But the Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination of the thoughts of their minds was only evil all the time. |
144 | GEN 6:6 | The Lord regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was highly offended. |
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.” |
147 | GEN 6:9 | This is the account of Noah. Noah was a godly man; he was blameless among his contemporaries. He walked with God. |
152 | GEN 6:14 | Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and out. |
153 | GEN 6:15 | This is how you should make it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. |
154 | GEN 6:16 | Make a roof for the ark and finish it, leaving 18 inches from the top. Put a door in the side of the ark, and make lower, middle, and upper decks. |
155 | GEN 6:17 | I am about to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy from under the sky all the living creatures that have the breath of life in them. Everything that is on the earth will die, |
156 | GEN 6:18 | but I will confirm my covenant with you. You will enter the ark – you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. |
157 | GEN 6:19 | You must bring into the ark two of every kind of living creature from all flesh, male and female, to keep them alive with you. |
158 | GEN 6:20 | Of the birds after their kinds, and of the cattle after their kinds, and of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you so you can keep them alive. |
