[Tyndale House, Cambridge, UnitedKingdom]
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the faceof the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All thingswere made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. |
