Bible Reading: Genesis 1:1-31
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was
formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God
was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening,
and there was morning—the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between
the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the
water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault
“sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 9 And God
said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground
appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters
he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on
the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.
12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and
trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was
good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. 14 And God
said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and
let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be
lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two
great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night.
He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the
earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And
God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the
fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly
above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of
the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it,
according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that
it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill
the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was
evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. 24 And God said, “Let the land produce
living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along
the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God
made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds,
and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God
saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our
likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the
livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the
ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful
and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and
the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” 29 Then
God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and
every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the
beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along
the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for
food.” And it was so. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And
there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
