Genesis 1:1–5
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
3 different aspects of the nature of the Word.

and his life brought light to everyone.

12 When these people eat with you in your fellowship meals commemorating the Lord’s love, they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you. They are like shameless shepherds who care only for themselves. They are like clouds blowing over the land without giving any rain. They are like trees in autumn that are doubly dead, for they bear no fruit and have been pulled up by the roots.

Try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
