He was already with God in the beginning.
In the beginning God created heaven and earth.
I was beside him as a master craftsman. I made him happy day after day, I rejoiced in front of him all the time,
I think to myself, “I can forget the Lord and no longer speak his name.” But ⌞his word⌟ is inside me like a burning fire shut up in my bones. I wear myself out holding it in, but I can’t do it any longer.
In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Everything came into existence through him. Not one thing that exists was made without him.
