Proverbs 8:22

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

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.

I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.

This is what Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies, says: “I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Yahweh’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you know?

He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”

Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars.

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.

And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.

He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to make them sit with princes and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh’s. He has set the world on them.

“But where will wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?

Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

to him who by understanding made the heavens; for his loving kindness endures forever:

When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,

God has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.

Then they said to Jeremiah, “May Yahweh be a true and faithful witness among us, if we don’t do according to all the word with which Yahweh your God sends you to tell us.

Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.

He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

You are Yahweh, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.

who does great things that can’t be fathomed, marvelous things without number;

God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him and prospered?

“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.

Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!

By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.

then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.

As you don’t know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; even so you don’t know the work of God who does all.

“He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.

As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

How great are his signs! How mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. His dominion is from generation to generation.

John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’ ”

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

“To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation, says these things:
