Genesis 1:1

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

Genesis 1:1-26

       1.   In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
      2   And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
      3.   And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
      4   And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
      5   And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
      6.   And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
      7   And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
      8   And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
      9.   And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
      10   And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
      11   And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
      12   And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
      13   And the evening and the morning were the third day.
      14.   And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
      15   And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
      16   And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
      17   And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
      18   And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
      19   And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
      20.   And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
      21   And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
      22   And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
      23   And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
      24.   And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
      25   And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
      26.   And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:21

       21   And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:26-31

       26.   And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
      27   So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
      28   And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
      29.   And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
      30   And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
      31.   And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 1:26

       26.   And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:27

       27   So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 1:28-31

       28   And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
      29.   And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
      30   And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
      31.   And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 2:1-3

       1.   Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
      2   And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
      3   And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Genesis 2:4

       4.   These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

Genesis 2:4-25

       4.   These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
      5   And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
      6   But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
      7   And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
      8.   And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
      9   And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
      10   And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
      11   The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
      12   And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
      13   And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
      14   And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
      15   And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
      16.   And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
      17   But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
      18.   And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
      19   And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
      20   And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
      21.   And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
      22   And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
      23   And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
      24   Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
      25   And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Genesis 7:10, 12

       10   And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
      12   And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

Genesis 9:1-29

       1.   And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
      2   And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
      3   Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
      4   But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
      5   And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
      6   Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
      7   And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
      8.   And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
      9   And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
      10   And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
      11   And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
      12.   And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
      13   I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
      14   And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
      15   And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
      16   And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
      17   And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
      18.   And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
      19   These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
      20   And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
      21   And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
      22   And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
      23   And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
      24.   And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
      25   And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
      26   And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
      27   God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
      28.   And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
      29   And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

Genesis 9:6

       6   Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

Genesis 29:27, 28

       27   Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
      28   And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

Exodus 16:5

       5   And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

Exodus 16:5, 22-30

       5   And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
      22.   And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
      23   And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
      24   And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
      25   And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
      26   Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
      27   And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
      28   And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
      29   See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
      30   So the people rested on the seventh day.

Deuteronomy 5:15

       15   And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

Ecclesiastes 7:29

       29   Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

Isaiah 45:12

       12   I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

John 1:1-5

       1.   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
      2   The same was in the beginning with God.
      3   All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
      4   In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
      5.   And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Acts 17:22-31

       22.   Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
      23   For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
      24   God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
      25   Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
      26   And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
      27   That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
      28   For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
      29   Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
      30   And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
      31   Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Ephesians 4:24

       24   And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Colossians 3:10

       10   And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Hebrews 1:1-5

       1.   God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
      2   Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
      3   Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
      4.   Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
      5   For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
