- God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.
- Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
- No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made him known.
- For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
- And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth.
- Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
- And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them just as it had upon us at the beginning.
- Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father.
- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
- The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever else you get, get insight. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction. - For this is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. - Who has performed and done this,
calling the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord, am first,
and will be with the last. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever. - He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything.

he who begets a wise son will be glad in him. - From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

- I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ.
- You are from your father the devil, and you choose to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.
