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.
And God said,
Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw
the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the
darkness.
And God called
the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the
morning were the first day.
And God said,
Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the
waters from the waters.
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.
And God called
the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
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.
And God called
the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas:
and God saw that it was good.
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.
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.
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:
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.
And God set
them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
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.
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.
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.
And God blessed
them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and
let fowl multiply in the earth.
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.
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.
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.
So God created
man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and
female created he them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Neither shouldest
thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape;
neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the
day of distress.
And he that taketh
not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Then said Jesus unto
his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross, and follow me.
And as they came out,
they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
And saying, Thou that
destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, savethyself. If thou be the Son of God,
come down from the cross.
He saved others;
himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from
the cross, and we will believe him.
And when he had
called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them,
Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow me.
Then Jesus beholding
him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell
whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
And they compel one
Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of
Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
Save thyself, and
come down from the cross.
Let Christ the King
of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And
they that were crucified with him reviled him.
And he said to them
all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross daily, and follow me.
And whosoever doth
not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
And as they led him
away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and
on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
And he bearing his cross went forth
into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew
Golgotha:
And Pilate wrote a
title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE
KING OF THE JEWS.
Now there stood by
the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife
of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
The Jews therefore,
because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon
the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,)
besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken
away.
For Christ sent me
not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest
the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
For the preaching of
the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are
saved it is the power of God.
And I, brethren, if I
yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence
of the cross ceased.
As many as desire to
make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest
they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
But God forbid that I
should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the
world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
And that he might
reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity
thereby:
And being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the
death of the cross.
(For many walk, of
whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the
enemies of the cross of Christ:
And, having made
peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto
himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Blotting out the
handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and
took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Looking unto Jesus
the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand
of the throne of God.
