6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government will be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6
John 1:1-51
1
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. 2 This one was in the beginning with God. 3 All things became through him, and without him nothing became that has become into being. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light is appearing in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.
6 It happened that a man came, having been sent from God, and his name was John. 7 This one came to be a witness, in order that he might testify concerning the light, in order that all should believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came in order that he might testify concerning the light.
9 He was the true light coming into the world, the light which illuminates every man. 10 He was in the world and the world became through him and the world did not know him.
11 He came to his own and those who were his own did not receive him. 12 But as many as received him, he gave to them the authority to become children of God, to the believing ones in his name, 13 who were born, not from bloods, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from God.
14 And the Word became flesh and resided among us (and we saw his glory, glory like that of the only begotten from the Father), full of favor and truth. 15 John testifies concerning him and has cried, saying, This one was he of whom I spoke, He who is coming after me, has become before me, because he was first, then me. 16 And we all received out of his fullness and favor in exchange-for favor. 17 Because the law was given through Moses; the favor and the truth became through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at anytime; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, that one has described him.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem in order that they might ask him, Who are you?
20 And he confessed and did not deny, and he confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, Therefore, what? Are you Elijah?
And he says, I am not.
Are you the prophet?
And he answered, No.
22 Therefore they said to him, Who are you? In order that we might give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say concerning yourself?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Make straight the way of the Lord, just-as Isaiah the prophet said.
24 And those who had been sent, were from the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said to him, Therefore why do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, neither Elijah, nor the prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I immerse in water, but one is standing in your midst whom you do not know. 27 It is he who is coming after me, who has become before me. I am not worthy that I should loose the strap of his shoes. 28 These things happened in Bethany beyond-that area of the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29 On the next-day he sees Jesus coming toward him and says, Behold, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world! 30 This one is he, concerning whom I said, A man is coming after me who has become before me, because he was first; then me. 31 And I did not know him, but in order that he should be manifested to Israel. I came immersing in water because of this. 32 And John testified, saying, I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove from heaven, and it remained upon him. 33 And I did not know him, but he who sent me to immerse in water, that one said to me, Upon whomever you see the Spirit coming down and remaining upon him, this one is he who immerses in the Holy Spirit. 34 And I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.
35 Again on the next-day, John and two others from his disciples stood around. 36 And having looked at Jesus walking, he says, Behold, the Lamb of God! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak and they followed Jesus.
38 Now Jesus, having turned, saw them following, and says to them, What are you seeking?
But they said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, by translation: Teacher), where do you abide?
39 He says to them, Come and see.
They went and saw where he abode, and they remained with him that day. It was approximately the tenth hour. 40 One out of the two who heard this from John was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother and he followed him. 41 This one finds first his own brother Simon and says to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, after being translated, The Christ).
42 And he led him toward Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon, the Son of Jonah, you will be called Cephas, which is by translation, a Pebble.
43 On the next-day, he wished to go out into Galilee, and he finds Philip, and Jesus says to him, Follow me.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law and the prophets wrote, Jesus from Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Is any good thing able to be coming out of Nazareth?
Philip says to him, Come and behold!
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and says concerning him, Behold, an Israelite in whom there truly is no treachery!
48 Nathanael says to him, From where do you know me?
Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip summoned you, I saw you being under the fig tree.
49 Nathanael answered and says to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Is it because I said to you, I saw you underneath the fig tree that you believe? You will be seeing greater than these things. 51 And he says to him, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, From now on, you will be seeing the heaven has opened, and the messengers of God ascending and coming down upon the Son of Man.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. 2 This one was in the beginning with God. 3 All things became through him, and without him nothing became that has become into being. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light is appearing in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.

Matthew 19:1-30
1 And it happened, when Jesus had completed these words, he took off from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond-that of the Jordan;
2 and large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 And the Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying to him, If it is legal to a man to divorce his wife according to every cause.
4 But he answered and said to them, Have you not read, He who made them, made them male and female from the beginning. 5 And said, Because of this, a man will be leaving his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will be jointed into one flesh. 6 So-that they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together; let man not separate.
7 They say to him, Therefore why did Moses command us to give a document of divorcement and to dismiss her?
8 He says to them, Moses permitted you to divorce your wives for your hardness of heart, but from the beginning it has not become so. 9 But I am saying to you, Whoever divorces his wife not over
10 His disciples say to him, If thus is the case of the man with his wife, it is not advantageous to marry.
11 But he said to them, Not all people will make room for this word in their hearts, but they to whom it has been given: 12 for there are eunuchs who were born so out of their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to make room in his heart
13 Then little children were brought to him, in order that he might lay his hands on them and might pray for them, and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, Allow the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me; for of such is the kingdom of the heavens. 15 And having laid his hands on them, he traveled from there.
16 And behold, one man came to him and said to him, Good teacher, what good thing should I practice in order that I may have everlasting life?
17 Now he said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good except one–God, but if you wish to enter into everlasting life, keep the commandments.
18 He says to him, What ones?
Now Jesus said, Do not murder; Do not commit adultery; Do not steal; Do not falsely testify, 19 Honor your father and mother.
20 The young-man says to him, I have observed all these things from my youth. So what am I still lacking?
21 Jesus said to him, If you are willing to be complete, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven and come-here. Follow me. 22 But when the young-man heard the word, he went away and was sorrowing; for he had many properties.
23 Now Jesus said to his disciples, Assuredly I am saying to you, A rich man will hardly enter into the kingdom of the heavens. 24 But again I am saying to you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Now when his disciples heard it, they were being extremely astounded, saying, Who then is able to be saved?
26 But Jesus, looked at them and said to them, This is impossible with men, but all things are possible with God.
27 Then Peter answered and said to him, Behold, we have left all and followed you; what then will be left for us?
28 But Jesus said to them, Assuredly I am saying to you, that you who have followed me, whenever the Son of Man sits upon the throne of his glory in the regeneration, you will also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brethren or sisters, or their father or mother or wife, or children or fields, because of my name, will be receiving a hundred-times that, and will be inheriting everlasting life. 30 But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
3 And the Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying to him, If it is legal to a man to divorce his wife according to every cause.
4 But he answered and said to them, Have you not read, He who made them, made them male and female from the beginning. 5 And said, Because of this, a man will be leaving his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will be jointed into one flesh. 6 So-that they are no more two, but one flesh.

Hebrews 6:1-20
1 Hence, having left the word of the beginning principles of Christ, we should carry on to our maturity; not putting down again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith upon God,
2 of the teaching of immersions and of the laying on of hands and of resurrection of the dead and of everlasting judgment.
3 And we might do this, if indeed God permits.
4 For it is impossible, those who were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and had become partakers of the Holy Spirit
5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the future world
6 and then having fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, because they are again crucifying for themselves the Son of God and disgracing him.
7 For the soil, which drank the rainfall, when it has come often upon her, and is bearing forth vegetation fit for those because of whom it is also cultivated, receives blessing from God.
8 But when it is bringing forth thorns and thistles, it is unapproved and near to a curse; whose end is for burning.
9 But, beloved, we have confidence of the better things concerning you and better things holding salvation, even if we speak so. 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the labor of the love which you showed toward his name, having served the holy-ones and still serving them. 11 But we are desiring each of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope till the end; 12 in order that you should not become sluggish, but imitators of those who are inheriting the promises through faith and patience.
13 For when God promised to Abraham, since he was holding no one greater to swear according to, he swore according to himself, 14 saying, Absolutely in blessing, I will bless you and multiplying, I will multiply you. 15 And thus Abraham, having had patience, obtained the promise. 16 For indeed, men swear according to the greater and the oath made for confirmation is an end in every dispute of theirs. 17 In which God, planning to show even-more to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable will of his plan, intermediated this with an oath; 18 in order that through two unchangeable matters, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge, to take-hold of the hope that lays before us. 19 This hope which we have as an anchor of the soul, is both secure and steadfast and entering into the inner side of the curtain; 20 where a forerunner Jesus entered on our behalf, having become a high-priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Genesis 2:1-25
1 And the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them.
2 And God finished his work by the seventh day which he had made and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work which God had created and made.
4 These are the genealogies of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven. 5 And no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up, because Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth. And there was not a man to work the ground, 6 but there went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And Jehovah God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. 8 And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward in Eden and he put the man whom he had formed there.
9 And out of the ground Jehovah God made to grow every tree that is desirable to the sight and good for food; also in the midst of the garden the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden and from there it was divided and became four chief rivers. 11 The name of the first is Pishon. It is that river which encompasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and the onyx stone too. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon. The same is it which encompasses the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel. It is that river which goes east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 And Jehovah God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and to keep it. 16 And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, You may freely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will not eat from it. For in the day that you eat from it, you will surely die.
18 And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, I will make a helper for him. 19 And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was the name of it. 20 And the man gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field, but for man there was not found a helper for him.
21 And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man and he slept. And God took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh under it. 22 And from the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, he made a woman and brought her to the man.
23 And the man said, This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and will cling to his wife and the two will be one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and they were not ashamed.
4 These are the genealogies of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven. 5 And no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up, because Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth.

Hebrews 11:3
3 in faith, we perceive that the ages have been framed by the declaration of God, toward the things seen, not having become from things which appear.
Genesis 1:3
3 And God said, Let there be light and there was light.
Isaiah 42:5
5 Thus says God, Jehovah, he who created the heavens and stretched them forth, he who spread abroad the earth and what comes out of it, he who gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk in it,
2 Peter 3:8
8 But beloved, let this one thing not elude you, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.

Isaiah 48:13
13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth and my right hand has spread out the heavens. When I call to them, they stand up together.
Genesis 1:1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1-31
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of God fluttered upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place and let the dry land appear. And it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth and he called the gathering together of the waters Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit (which has seed in it) according to their kind upon the earth. And it was so.
12 And the earth brought out grass, herbs yielding seed according to their kind and trees bearing fruit (which has seed in it), according to their kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of heaven to divide the day from the night and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years. 15 And let them be for lights in the expanse of heaven to give light upon the earth. And it was so.
16 And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night and also the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of heaven. 21 And God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought out abundantly, according to their kind and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas and let birds multiply on the earth. 23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kind. And it was so.
25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind and the cattle according to their kind and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let Us make man in our image–after our likeness–and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. 27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; he created them male and female.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and have power over it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you* every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you* it will be for food, 30 and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps upon the earth in which there is life and to you * every green herb, for food. And it was so.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
3 And God said, Let there be light and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place and let the dry land appear. And it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth and he called the gathering together of the waters Seas. And God saw that it was good.
