He existed in the beginning with God.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
I was the architect at his side. I was his constant delight, rejoicing always in his presence.
But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it!
In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.
