At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

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

And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.

And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them.

And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?

Is this your answer to the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? Is he not your father who has given you life? He has made you and given you your place.

For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:

Every one who is named by my name, and whom I have made for my glory, who has been formed and designed by me.

For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;

All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.

See, I have made the iron-worker, blowing on the burning coals, and making the instrument of war by his work; and I have made the waster for destruction.

<JOD> Your hands have made me, and given me form: give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your teaching.

O Lord, how great is the number of your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of the things you have made.

For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.

And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

For this is the word of the Lord who made the heavens; he is God; the maker and designer of the earth; who made it not to be a waste, but as a living-place for man: I am the Lord, and there is no other.
