From the very beginning he was with God.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Then I was beside him as a master craftsman. I made him happy every day, and I was always full of joy in his presence.
If I tell myself, “I won't talk about him anymore, I won't even mention his name,” then his message is like a fire trapped within me, burning me from the inside out. I'm getting tired of holding it in. I just can't win.
In the beginning the Word already was. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Everything came into being through him; nothing came into being without him.
