²⁴ When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

² And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

⁷ I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

²⁰ By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

¹⁴ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

⁵ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
