2:1 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I reveal unto you concerning this heaven, and this earth; write the words which I speak. I am the Beginning and the End, the Almighty God; by mine Only Begotten I created these things; yea, in the beginning I created the heaven, and the earth upon which thou standest.

 2:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the deep; and my Spirit moved upon the face of the water; for I am God.

 2:3 And I, God, said: Let there be light; and there was light.

 2:4 And I, God, saw the light; and that light was good. And I, God, divided the light from the darkness.

 2:5 And I, God, called the light Day; and the darkness, I called Night; and this I did by the word of my power, and it was done as I spake; and the evening and the morning were the first day.

 2:6 And again, I, God, said: Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and it was so, even as I spake; and I said: Let it divide the waters from the waters; and it was done;

 2:7 And I, God, made the firmament and divided the waters, yea, the great waters under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament, and it was so even as I spake.

 2:8 And I, God, called the firmament Heaven; and the evening and the morning were the second day.

 2:9 And I, God, said: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and it was so; and I, God, said: Let there be dry land; and it was so.

 2:10 And I, God, called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, called I the Sea; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good.

 2:11 And I, God, said: Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, the fruit tree yielding fruit, after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself upon the earth, and it was so even as I spake.

 2:12 And the earth brought forth grass, every herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself, after his kind; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good;

 2:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

 2:14 And I, 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 for years;

 2:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth; and it was so.

 2:16 And I, God, made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the greater light was the sun, and the lesser light was the moon; and the stars also were made even according to my word.

 2:17 And I, God, set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

 2:18 And the sun to rule over the day, and the moon to rule over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good;

 2:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

 2:20 And I, God, said: Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl which may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

 2:21 And I, 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 I, God, saw that all things which I had created were good.

 2:22 And I, God, blessed them, saying: Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the sea; and let fowl multiply in the earth;

 2:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

 2:24 And I, God, said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind, and it was so;

 2:25 And I, God, made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything which creepeth upon the earth after his kind; and I, God, saw that all these things were good.

 2:26 And I, God, said unto mine Only Begotten, which was with me from the beginning: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and it was so. And I, God, said: Let them have dominion over the fishes 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.

 2:27 And I, God, created man in mine own image, in the image of mine Only Begotten created I him; male and female created I them.

 2:28 And I, God, blessed them, and 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.

 2:29 And I, God, said unto man: Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in the which shall be the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

 2:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein I grant life, there shall be given every clean herb for meat; and it was so, even as I spake.

 2:31 And I, God, saw everything that I had made, and, behold, all things which I had made were very good; and the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

 3:1 Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

 3:2 And on the seventh day I, God, ended my work, and all things which I had made; and I rested on the seventh day from all my work, and all things which I had made were finished, and I, God, saw that they were good;

 3:3 And I, God, blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that in it I had rested from all my work which I, God, had created and made.

 3:4 And now, behold, I say unto you, that these are the generations of the heaven and of the earth, when they were created, in the day that I, the Lord God, made the heaven and the earth,

 3:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth. For I, the Lord God, had not caused it to rain upon the face of the earth. And I, the Lord God, had created all the children of men; and not yet a man to till the ground; for in heaven created I them; and there was not yet flesh upon the earth, neither in the water, neither in the air;

 3:6 But I, the Lord God, spake, and there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

 3:7 And I, the Lord God, formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul, the first flesh upon the earth, the first man also; nevertheless, all things were before created; but spiritually were they created and made according to my word.

 3:8 And I, the Lord God, planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there I put the man whom I had formed.

 3:9 And out of the ground made I, the Lord God, to grow every tree, naturally, that is pleasant to the sight of man; and man could behold it. And it became also a living soul. For it was spiritual in the day that I created it; for it remaineth in the sphere in which I, God, created it, yea, even all things which I prepared for the use of man; and man saw that it was good for food. And I, the Lord God, planted the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

 3:10 And I, the Lord God, caused a river to go out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

 3:11 And I, the Lord God, called the name of the first Pison, and it compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where I, the Lord God, created much gold;

 3:12 And the gold of that land was good, and there was bdellium and the onyx stone.

 3:13 And the name of the second river was called Gihon; the same that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

 3:14 And the name of the third river was Hiddekel; that which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river was the Euphrates.

 3:15 And I, the Lord God, took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden, to dress it, and to keep it.

 3:16 And I, the Lord God, commanded the man, saying: Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat,

 3:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee; but, remember that I forbid it, for in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

 3:18 And I, the Lord God, said unto mine Only Begotten, that it was not good that the man should be alone; wherefore, I will make an help meet for him.

 3:19 And out of the ground I, the Lord God, formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and commanded that they should come unto Adam, to see what he would call them; and they were also living souls; for I, God, breathed into them the breath of life, and commanded that whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that should be the name thereof.

 3:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, there was not found an help meet for him.

 3:21 And I, the Lord God, caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and he slept, and I took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in the stead thereof;

 3:22 And the rib which I, the Lord God, had taken from man, made I a woman, and brought her unto the man.

 3:23 And Adam said: This I know now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man.

 3:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh.

 3:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

 4:1 And I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying-- Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.

 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.

 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

 4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

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

 1:2 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.

 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

 1:7 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.

 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

 1:9 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.

 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

 1:11 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.

 1:12 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.

 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

 1:14 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:

 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

 1:16 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.

 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

 1:18 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.

 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

 1:20 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.

 1:21 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.

 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

 1:24 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.

 1:25 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.

 1:26 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.

 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

 1:28 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.

 1:29 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.

 1:30 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.

 1:31 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.

 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

 2:2 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.

 2:3 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.

 2:4 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,

 2:5 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.

 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

 2:7 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.

 2:8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

 2:9 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.
