He was with God in the beginning.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Then I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
