Genesis 1:1-5 ▼

1 In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth —

2 and the earth was without form or shape, with darkness over the abyss and a mighty wind sweeping over the waters—

3 Then God said: Let there be light, and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good. God then separated the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” Evening came, and morning followed—the first day.
