²⁴ When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.

² Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

⁷ I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.

²⁰ By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.

¹⁴ The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

²⁰ For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

⁵ For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son, Today have I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a Father, And he will be to me a Son?"

⁹ By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
