² the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness `is' on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,

⁷ I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, `My Son Thou `art', I to-day have brought thee forth.

²⁰ By His knowledge depths have been rent, And clouds do drop dew.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

²⁰ for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

⁵ For to which of the messengers said He ever, `My Son thou art -- I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, `I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?'

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;
