The Eternal Word^(A)

1 In the beginning ^(B)was the Word, and the ^(C)Word was ^(D)with God, and the Word was ^(E)God.

^3 (A)All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

¹⁶ For ^(A)by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or ^(B)dominions or ^[a]principalities or ^[b]powers. All things were created ^(C)through Him and for Him.

³ By faith we understand that ^(A)the ^[a]worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

² has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ^[a]worlds;

⁵ For this they willfully forget: that ^(A)by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth ^(B)standing out of water and in the water, ^6 (C)by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. ⁷ But ^(D)the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for ^(E)fire until the day of judgment and ^[a]perdition of ungodly men.

⁶ yet ^(A)for us there is one God, the Father, ^(B)of whom are all things, and we for Him; and ^(C)one Lord Jesus Christ, ^(D)through whom are all things, and ^(E)through whom we live.
