Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
