Bible verses about "evolution" | BBE

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.

³⁰ Wisdom and knowledge and wise suggestions are of no use against the Lord.

¹³ My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body. ¹⁴ I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.

¹ From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God. ² This Word was from the first in relation with God. ³ All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was. ⁴ What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark. ⁶ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. ⁷ He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him. ⁸ He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light. ⁹ The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world. ¹⁰ He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him. ¹¹ He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts. ¹² To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name: ¹³ Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire. ¹⁴ And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace. ¹⁵ John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me. ¹⁶ From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace. ¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is. ¹⁹ And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him with the question, Who are you? ²⁰ He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ. ²¹ And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not. ²² So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself? ²³ He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet. ²⁴ Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet? ²⁶ John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge; ²⁷ It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes. ²⁸ These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism. ²⁹ The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! ³⁰ This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me. ³¹ I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel. ³² And John gave this witness, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting on him. ³³ I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God. ³⁵ The day after, John was there again with two of his disciples; ³⁶ And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God! ³⁷ Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus. ³⁸ And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi which is to say, Master, where are you living? ³⁹ He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day. ⁴⁰ Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus. ⁴¹ Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! which is to say, the Christ. ⁴² And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas which is to say, Peter. ⁴³ The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple. ⁴⁴ Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from. ⁴⁵ Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. ⁴⁶ Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see. ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false. ⁴⁸ Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you. ⁴⁹ Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel! ⁵⁰ In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these. ⁵¹ And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.

³ Having first of all the knowledge that in the last days there will be men who, ruled by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things, ⁴ Saying, Where is the hope of his coming? From the death of the fathers till now everything has gone on as it was from the making of the world. ⁵ But in taking this view they put out of their minds the memory that in the old days there was a heaven, and an earth lifted out of the water and circled by water, by the word of God; ⁶ And that the world which then was came to an end through the overflowing of the waters.

⁸ But, my loved ones, keep in mind this one thing, that with the Lord one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years are no more than one day.

²⁰ For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing: ²¹ Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark. ²² Seeming to be wise, they were in fact foolish, ²³ And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth. ²⁴ For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another: ²⁵ Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it. ²⁶ For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural: ²⁷ And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.

²¹ And God made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: and God saw that it was good.

²⁴ The Lord, who has taken up your cause, and who gave you life in your mother's body, says, I am the Lord who makes all things; stretching out the heavens by myself, and giving the earth its limits; who was with me? ²⁵ Who makes the signs of those who give word of the future come to nothing, so that those who have knowledge of secret arts go off their heads; turning the wise men back, and making their knowledge foolish:

⁸ Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ:

¹ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the sign that the things not seen are true. ² For by it our fathers had God's approval. ³ By faith it is clear to us that the order of events was fixed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made from things which only seem to be.

¹⁶ For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him; ¹⁷ He is before all things, and in him all things have being.

⁷ And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

¹ At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

³ All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.
