3 it seemed good, even to me, having closely traced from the outset all things accurately, to write unto thee, in order, most excellent Theophilus:

Luke 1:3
Colossians 1:16-17
16 Because, in him, were created all things in the heavens and upon the earth, the things seen and the things unseen, whether thrones or lordships or principalities or authorities,––they all, through him and for him, have been created,
17 And, he, is before all, and, they all, in him, hold together;
Hebrews 13:7
7 Be mindful of them who are guiding you, who, indeed, have spoken unto you, the word of God: the outgoing of whose behaviour, reviewing, be imitating, their faith.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-22
1 For, every thing, there is a season,––and a time for every pursuit, under the heavens:––
2 A time to be born, and a time to die,––A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal,––A time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh,––A time to wail, and a time to dance for joy;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to heap up stones,––A time to embrace, and a time to be far from loving embrace;
6 A time to seek, and a time to give up as lost,––A time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew,––A time to be silent, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love and a time to hate,––A time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh, in that wherein, himself, hath toiled?
10 I looked at the employment which God hath given to the sons of men, to work therein:
11 Everything, hath he made beautiful in its own time,––also, intelligence, hath he put in their heart, without which men could not find out the work which God hath wrought, from the beginning even unto the end. 12 I know that there is no blessedness in them,––save to be glad, and to do well with one’s life. 13 Though indeed, that any man should eat and drink, and see blessedness, in all his toil, it is, the gift of God. 14 I know, that, whatsoever God doeth, the same, shall be age–abiding, unto it, there is nothing to add, and, from it, there is nothing to take away,––and, God, hath done it, that men should stand in awe before him. 15 That which was, already, had been, and, that which shall be, already, shall have been,––but, God, seeketh that which hath been chased away.
16 Then, again, I saw under the sun, the place of justice, that there was lawlessness, and, the place of righteousness, that there was lawlessness. 17 Said, I, in my heart, Both the righteous and the lawless, will God judge,––for [there will be] a time for every pursuit, and concerning every work––there. 18 Said, I, in my heart, as concerning the sons of men, That God was minded to prove them,––and that they might see, that they were beasts, of themselves. 19 For, as regardeth the destiny of the sons of men and the destiny of beasts, one fate, have they, as dieth the one, so, dieth the other, and, one spirit, have they all,––and, the pre–eminence of man over beast, is nothing, for, all, were vanity: 20 all, go unto one place,––all, came from the dust, and all, return to the dust. 21 Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of men, whether it, ascendeth, above,––or the spirit of the beast, whether it, descendeth, below, to the earth? 22 So I saw, that there was nothing better than that a man should be glad in his works, for, that, is his portion,––for who can bring him in, to look upon that which shall be after him?

Proverbs 24:30-32
30 By the field of the sluggard, I passed, and by the vineyard of a man lacking sense;
31 And lo! there had come up all over it––thorns, there had covered the face thereof––thistles, and, the stone fence thereof, had been thrown down.
32 So I observed it, for myself, I applied my heart, I looked––I accepted correction:
Romans 12:2
2 And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by God––the good and acceptable and perfect.
Titus 2:3-5
3 Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue,––
4 That they may constrain the young women to be, lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,
5 soberminded, chaste, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands,––that, the word of God, be not defamed;
Genesis 1:1-31
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now, the earth, had become waste and wild, and, darkness, was on the face of the roaring deep,––but, the Spirit of God, was brooding on the face of the waters.
3 And God said––Light, be. And light was. 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, but, the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening––and it was morning, one day.
6 And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters,––and let it be a means of dividing, between waters and waters. 7 And God made the expanse, and it divided between the waters that were under the expanse and the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called, the expanse, heavens. So it was evening––and it was morning, a, second day.
9 And God said––Let the waters under the heavens, be gathered together, into one place, and let the dry–ground appear. And it was so. 10 And God called, the dry–ground, land, but, the gathering together of the waters, called he, seas. And God saw that it was, good. 11 And God said––Let the land put–forth vegetation––herb yielding seed, fruit–tree, bearing fruit, after its kind, whose seed is within it on the land. And it was so. 12 And the land brought–forth vegetation––herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, whose seed is within it, after its kind. And God saw that it was, good. 13 So it was evening––and it was morning, a third day.
14 And God said––Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night,––and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; 15 yea let them be for luminaries, in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so. 16 And God made the two great luminaries,––the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens,––to give light on 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 So it was evening––and it was morning, a fourth day.
20 And God said––Let the waters swarm [with] an abundance of living soul, and, birds, shall fly over the earth, over the face of the expanse of the heavens. 21 And God created the great sea–monsters,––and every living soul that moveth––[with] which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird––after 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, the birds, multiply in the land. 23 So it was evening––and it was morning, a fifth day.
24 And God said––Let the land, bring forth, living soul, after its kind, tame–beast and creeping thing and wild–beast of the land, after its kind. And it was so. 25 And God made the wild–beast of the land, after its kind, and the tame–beast, after its kind, and every creeping thing of the ground, after 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 bird of the heavens, and over the tame–beast––and over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land. 27 And God created the man, in his own image, In the image of God, created he, him,––Male and female, created he, them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said to them––Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it,––and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.
29 And God said––Lo! I have given to you––every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree, yielding seed,––to you, shall it be, for food; 30 and to every living thing of the land––and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.
31 And God saw every thing which he had made, and lo! it was, very good. So it was evening––and it was morning, the sixth day.
3 And God said––Light, be. And light was. 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, but, the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening––and it was morning, one day.
6 And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters,––and let it be a means of dividing, between waters and waters. 7 And God made the expanse, and it divided between the waters that were under the expanse and the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called, the expanse, heavens. So it was evening––and it was morning, a, second day.
9 And God said––Let the waters under the heavens, be gathered together, into one place, and let the dry–ground appear. And it was so. 10 And God called, the dry–ground, land, but, the gathering together of the waters, called he, seas. And God saw that it was, good. 11 And God said––Let the land put–forth vegetation––herb yielding seed, fruit–tree, bearing fruit, after its kind, whose seed is within it on the land. And it was so. 12 And the land brought–forth vegetation––herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, whose seed is within it, after its kind. And God saw that it was, good. 13 So it was evening––and it was morning, a third day.
14 And God said––Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night,––and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; 15 yea let them be for luminaries, in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so. 16 And God made the two great luminaries,––the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens,––to give light on 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 So it was evening––and it was morning, a fourth day.
20 And God said––Let the waters swarm [with] an abundance of living soul, and, birds, shall fly over the earth, over the face of the expanse of the heavens. 21 And God created the great sea–monsters,––and every living soul that moveth––[with] which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird––after 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, the birds, multiply in the land. 23 So it was evening––and it was morning, a fifth day.
24 And God said––Let the land, bring forth, living soul, after its kind, tame–beast and creeping thing and wild–beast of the land, after its kind. And it was so. 25 And God made the wild–beast of the land, after its kind, and the tame–beast, after its kind, and every creeping thing of the ground, after 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 bird of the heavens, and over the tame–beast––and over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land. 27 And God created the man, in his own image, In the image of God, created he, him,––Male and female, created he, them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said to them––Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it,––and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.
29 And God said––Lo! I have given to you––every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree, yielding seed,––to you, shall it be, for food; 30 and to every living thing of the land––and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.
31 And God saw every thing which he had made, and lo! it was, very good. So it was evening––and it was morning, the sixth day.
