Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;
and there was no more sea. 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with
them, and be their God.

Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled
away; and there was found no place for them. 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the
books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those
things which were written in the books, according to their works. 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;
and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their
works. 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 20:15 And whosoever was not
found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation
20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out
of his prison,
20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four
quarters of the earth, Gog
and
Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the
sand of the sea.
20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the
camp of the saints
about,
and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and
devoured them.
20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire
and brimstone, where
the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in
his hand. 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a
thousand years, 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should
deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that
were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his
image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years. 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first
resurrection. 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no
power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife
hath made herself ready. 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the
fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 19:10 And I fell at his feet to
worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the
testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 19:11 And I saw heaven opened,
and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge
and make war. 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written,
that no man knew, but he himself. 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The
Word of God. 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white
and clean. 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule
them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God

Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was
lightened with his glory. 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is
become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 18:3 For all
nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication
with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 18:4 And I heard
another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive
not of her plagues. 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 18:6 Reward
her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill
to her double. 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her:
for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues
come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God
who judgeth her. 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall
bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come
hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 17:2 With whom the kings of the
earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold
and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 17:5 And upon
her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH. 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her,
I wondered with great admiration. 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the
woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not
written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 17:9 And here is
the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 17:10 And there are seven kings: five
are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 17:11 And the beast that was,
and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give
their power and strength unto the beast. 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord
of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which
thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest
upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17:17
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be
fulfilled. 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues;
for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had
gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the
sea of glass, having the harps of God. 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the
Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and
worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. 15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the
tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven
plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. 15:7 And one of the four
beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. 15:8 And
the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the
temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them
that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear
God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and
the sea, and the fountains of waters. 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that
great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 14:9 And the third angel
followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his
forehead, or in his hand, 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without
mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they
have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 14:13 And
I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea,
saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. 14:14 And I looked, and behold
a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand
a sharp sickle. 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud,
Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 14:16 And he
that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand,
having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and
as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 14:3 And they sung as it were a new
song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty
and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they
are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the
firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and
his seat, and great authority. 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed:
and all the world wondered after the beast. 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 13:5 And there was given unto
him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 13:6
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds,
and tongues, and nations. 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book
of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon
her head a crown of twelve stars: 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 12:3 And there
appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his
heads. 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the
woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 12:5 And she brought forth a man child,
who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 12:6 And the woman fled
into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore
days. 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 11: And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become
the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 11:16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before
God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and
wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath
is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to
the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 11:19 And the temple of
God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and
thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Revelation 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 8:7 The first angel sounded, and
there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all
green grass was burnt up. 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea:
and the third part of the sea became blood; 8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third
part of the ships were destroyed. 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and
it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third
part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded,
and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was
darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the
midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the
three angels, which are yet to sound! 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given
the key of the bottomless pit. 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace;
and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto
them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the
earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 9:5 And to them it was
given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when
he striketh a man. 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 9:7
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces
were as the faces of men. 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9:9 And they had breastplates,
as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 9:10 And they
had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 9:11 And they had a king
over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name
Apollyon. 9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter. 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice
from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels
which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a
month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand:
and I heard the number of them. 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of
jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

Revelation 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 8:2 And I saw
the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar,
having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden
altar which was before the throne. 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God
out of the angel's hand. 8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were
voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,
that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east,
having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 7:4 And I
heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the
children of Israel. 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of
the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues,
stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about
the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and
wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 7:13 And one of the elders
answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou
knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb.

Revelation 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four
beasts saying, Come and see. 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given
unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say,
Come and see. 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from
the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 6:5 And when he had opened the
third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances
in his hand. 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of
barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the
fourth beast say, Come and see. 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed
with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and
with the beasts of the earth. 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for
the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and
true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one
of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren,
that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a
great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 6:13 And the stars of heaven
fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 6:14 And the heaven departed
as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 6:15 And the kings of the earth,
and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves
in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that
sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside,
sealed with seven seals. 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book,
and to loose the seals thereof? 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the
book, neither to look thereon. 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book,
neither to look thereon. 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the
Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the
midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having
seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 5:7 And he came and took
the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and
four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours,
which are the prayers of saints.

and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six
wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty,
which was, and is, and is to come.

Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for
him. 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought
them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name
thereof. 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam
there was not found an help meet for him. 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken
from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and
flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his
father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 2:25 And they were both naked, the
man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2:2 And on the seventh day God
ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 2:3 And
God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created
and made. 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the
LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb
of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till
the ground. 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 2:7 And the LORD
God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
soul. 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 2:9
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree
of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after
their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 1:26 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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth. 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he
them. 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth. 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of
all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 1:30 And to
every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is
life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and,
behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may
fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that
moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw
that it was good. 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let
fowl multiply in the earth. 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the
heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the
day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth, 1:18 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. 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

appear and it was so. 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas:
and God saw that it was good. 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit
tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 1:12: And the earth brought
forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind:
and God saw that it was good. 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
the third day of creation
Genesis 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the
waters. 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters
which were above the firmament: and it was so. 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the
morning were the second day.
the second day of creation
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 1:3 And God
said, Let there be light: and there was light. 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light
from the darkness. 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the
morning were the first day.
