Criação
A criação revela a glória de Deus. Céus, terra, mares e tudo o que existe testemunham o poder criador. No princípio Deus criou — e tudo era muito bom.
No princípio
No princípio criou Deus os céus e a terra. O Espírito de Deus pairava sobre as águas. E Deus disse: haja luz.
O poder criador
Pela palavra do Senhor foram feitos os céus. Tudo foi criado por Ele e para Ele — o visível e o invisível.
Criador e Sustentador
O Deus eterno não se cansa nem se fatiga. Dele, por Ele e para Ele são todas as coisas — a Ele seja a glória.
36 because of Him, and through Him, and to Him are the all things; to Him is the glory -- to the ages. Amen.
20 for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead -- to their being inexcusable;
19 for the earnest looking out of the creation does expect the revelation of the sons of God;
Nova criação
Se alguém está em Cristo, nova criatura é. O Criador faz novas todas as coisas — na natureza e na redenção.
17 so that if any one is in Christ -- he is a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.
10 for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.
18 having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
4 for every house is builded by some one, and He who the all things did build is God,
28 for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring.
13 and every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and the all things in them, heard I saying, 'To Him who is sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, is the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the might -- to the ages of the ages!'
