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.
1 In the begynnynge God created heaven and erth.2 The erth was voyde and emptie ad darcknesse was vpon the depe and the spirite of god moved vpon the water
26 And God sayd: let vs make man in oure symilitude ad after oure lycknesse: that he may have rule over the fysh of the see and over the foules of the ayre and over catell and over all the erth and over all wormes that crepe on the erth.
27 And God created man after hys lycknesse after the lycknesse of god created he him: male and female created he them.
3 And God blessed ye seventh daye and sanctyfyed it for in it he rested from all his workes which he had created and made.
18 And the LORde God sayd: it is not good that man shulde be alone I will make hym an helper to beare him company:
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 For of him and thorow him and for him are all thinges To him be glorye for ever Amen.
20 So that his invisible thinges: that is to saye his eternall power and godhed are vnderstonde and sene by the workes from the creacion of the worlde. So that they are without excuse
19 Also the fervent desyre of the creatures abideth lokynge when the sonnes of God shall appere
Nova criação
Se alguém está em Cristo, nova criatura é. O Criador faz novas todas as coisas — na natureza e na redenção.
17 Therfore yf eny man be in Christ he is a newe creature. Olde thynges are passed awaye beholde all thinges are be come newe.
10 For we are his worckmanshippe created in Christ Iesu vnto good workes vnto the which god ordeyned vs before that we shuld walke in them.
18 Of his awne will begat he vs with the worde of lyfe that we shuld be the fyrst frutes of his creatures.
4 Every housse is prepared of some man. But he that ordeyned all thinges is god.
28 For in him we lyve move and have oure beynge as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde. For we are also his generacion.
13 And all creatures which are in heven and on the erth and vnder the erth and in the see and all that are in them herd I sayinge: blyssinge honour glory and power be vnto hym that sytteth apon the seate and vnto the lambe for ever more.
