He was with God in the beginning.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
I was a skilled craftsman beside Him. I was His delight every day, always rejoicing before Him.
If I say, “I won’t mention Him or speak any longer in His name,” His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones. I become tired of holding it in, and I cannot prevail.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created.
