Genesis1: 1, 2

In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and therewas darkness upon the surface of [the] watery deep; and God's active forcewas moving to and fro over the surface of the waters.

 
 

John1: 1 - 3

In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was withGod, and the Word was a god.
This one was in [the] beginning with God.
All things came into existence through him, and apartfrom him, not even one thing came into existence.
