In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
This one was in the beginning with God.
All things came into being through the same,
and without the same not anything came into being.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
And the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not comprehended it.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,

full of grace and truth.
And from His fullness we all received, grace upon grace.
For the law was given through Moses,
grace and truth however, came through Jesus Christ.

(John 1:1-5, 14, 16-17)

 

For the longing of creation is towards the revelation of the sons of God.
For we know that all creation groans and labors together in pain until now.
But not only that, but ourselves also who have the firstfruit of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves

as we long for the adoption, for the redemption of our body.
But we know that to them who love God,

He works together all things for good,

to them, who are called according to purpose.
For whom He knew beforehand,

He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,

that He may be the firstborn among many brethren.

But whom He predestined, them He also called;

and those He called, them He also justified;

but whom He justified, them He also glorified.

(Romans 8:19, 22-23, 28-30)
