| Gen. 1:2 | Now1 the earth2 was without shape and empty,3 and darkness4 was over the surface of the watery deep,5 but the Spirit of God6 was moving7 over the surface8 of the water.9 |
| Gen. 1:3 | God said,1 “Let there be2 light.”3 And there was light! |
| Gen. 1:4 | God saw1 that the light was good,2 so God separated3 the light from the darkness. |
| Gen. 1:5 | God called1 the light “day” and the darkness2 “night.” There was evening, and there was morning, marking the first day.3 |
| Gen. 1:7 | So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it.1 It was so.2 |
| Gen. 1:8 | God called the expanse “sky.”1 There was evening, and there was morning, a second day. |
| Gen. 1:9 | God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place1 and let dry ground appear.”2 It was so. |
| Gen. 1:10 | God called the dry ground “land”1 and the gathered waters he called “seas.” God saw that it was good. |
| Gen. 1:11 | God said, “Let the land produce vegetation:1 plants yielding seeds according to their kinds,2 and3 trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.” It was so. |
| Gen. 1:12 | The land produced vegetation – plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. God saw that it was good. |
| Gen. 1:13 | There was evening, and there was morning, a third day. |
| Gen. 1:15 | and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” It was so. |
| Gen. 1:18 | to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness.1 God saw that it was good. |
| Gen. 1:19 | There was evening, and there was morning, a fourth day. |
| Gen. 1:21 | God created the great sea creatures1 and every living and moving thing with which the water swarmed, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. God saw that it was good. |
| Gen. 1:23 | There was evening, and there was morning, a fifth day. |
| Gen. 1:24 | God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals, each according to its kind.”1 It was so. |
| Gen. 1:25 | God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the cattle according to their kinds, and all the creatures that creep along the ground according to their kinds. God saw that it was good. |
| Gen. 1:30 | And to all the animals of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to all the creatures that move on the ground – everything that has the breath of life in it – I give1 every green plant for food.” It was so. |
| Gen. 1:31 | God saw all that he had made – and it was very good!1 There was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day. |
