Genesis Chapter
1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And
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. 4And
God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the
darkness. 5And 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. 7And 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. 8And
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. 10And
God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters
called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11And 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. 12And 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. 13And
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: 15And let them be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16And
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. 17And God set
them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18And
to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the
darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19And 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. 21And 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. 22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23And
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. 25And 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. 27So God created man in his own
image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28And
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. 30And 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.
Chapter 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the
host of them. 2And 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. 3And
God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested
from all his work which God created and made.
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, 5And 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. 6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the
whole face of the ground. 7And 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. 9And 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. 10And a river went out of Eden to water
the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11The
name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole
land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12And the gold of that
land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13And
the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that
compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. 14And the name of the third
river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of
Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. 15And 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: 17But 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. 19And 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. 20And
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; 22And
the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her
unto the man. 23And 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. 24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and
shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25And they
were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

some 2000 years ago - an exclusive way to the Father
(John 14:6) and that man,
as a sinful creature, is in need of a
Saviour.(John
3:16-21).
