Genesis 1:1-5 ▼

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was on the surface of the watery depths. And God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

3 And God said, |Let there be light,| and there was light.

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

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.
