² And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.

³ And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.

²⁷ And he said to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;

²⁸ So that the Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.

⁷ And on the first day of the week, when we had come together for the holy meal, Paul gave them a talk, for it was his purpose to go away on the day after; and he went on talking till after the middle of the night.

²⁸ And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.

⁴ The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are his.

⁵ The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands.

⁶ O come, let us give worship, falling down on our knees before the Lord our Maker.

⁷ For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!
