For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

By faith we understand that the worlds were formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

Worthy are You, our Lord, and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed,and were created.

Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day.

In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth and the heavens are the work of your hands.
