J. C. Wilfert Company (1953)
[Rockwall County PublicLibrary, Rockwall, Texas]
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth;the earth was waste and void; darkness covered the abyss, and the spiritof God was stirring above the waters.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God;and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things weremade through him, and without him nothing was made that has been made. |
