Genesis 1: 1–5 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters

In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

Ascribe to the ^| LORD, you gods,

     ascribe to the LORD glo- ^| ry and strength.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory ^| due God's name;

     worship the LORD in the beau- ^| ty of holiness.

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of ^| glory thunders;

     the LORD is upon the ^| mighty waters.

     the voice of the LORD is a ^| voice of splendor.   

The voice of the LORD breaks the ^| cedar trees;

     the LORD breaks the ce- ^| dars of Lebanon;

     and Mount Hermon like a ^| young wild ox.

The voice ^| of the LORD

     bursts forth in ^| lightning flashes.

     the LORD shakes the wilder- ^| ness of Kadesh.  

The voice of the LORD makes the oak trees writhe

and strips the ^| forests bare.

     And in the temple of the LORD all are ^| crying, "Glory!"

The LORD sits enthroned a- ^| bove the flood;

     the LORD sits enthroned as king for- ^| evermore.

O LORD, give strength ^| to your people;

     give them, O LORD, the bless- ^| ings of peace.   

While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul passed through the interior regions and came to Ephesus, where he found some disciples. He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?" They replied, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." Then he said, "Into what then were you baptised?" They answered, "Into John's baptism." Paul said, "John baptised with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus." On hearing this, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied — altogether there were about twelve of them.
