GOD (PART 2)
Taken from the HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (C) 1978 by the New
York Bible Society, used by permission of Zondervan Bible Publishers.
GEN 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of
the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the
darkness.
5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And
there was evening, and there was morning--the first day.
6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate
water from water."
7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from
the water above it. And it was so.
8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was
morning--the second day.
9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and
let dry ground appear." And it was so.
10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called
"seas." And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants
and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their
various kinds." And it was so.
12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their
kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And
God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening, and there was morning--the third day.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to
separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark
seasons and days and years,
15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the
earth." And it was so.
16 God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the
lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth,
18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness.
And God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening, and there was morning--the fourth day.
20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds
fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."
21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and
moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and
every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill
the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."
23 And there was evening, and there was morning--the fifth day.
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their
kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals,
each according to its kind." And it was so.
25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock
according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground
according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let
them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the
livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along
the ground."
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created
him; male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number;
fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds
of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the
whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be
yours for food.
30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all
the creatures that move on the ground--everything that has the breath of
life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was
evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.
2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on
the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he
rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens--
7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
5:1 This is the written account of Adam's line. When God created man, he
made him in the likeness of God.
2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were
created, he called them "man."
9:6 "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for
in the image of God has God made man.
EXO 4:11 The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf
or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
20:11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea,
and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the
LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
DEU 4:32 Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the
day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the
other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it
ever been heard of?
32:6 Is this the way you repay the LORD, O foolish and unwise people? Is
he not your Father, your Creator, who made you and formed you?
15 Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; filled with food, he became heavy and
sleek. He abandoned the God who made him and rejected the Rock his Savior.
18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave
you birth.
1SA 2:8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash
heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor.
"For the foundations of the earth are the LORD'S; upon them he has set the
world.
2KI 19:15 And Hezekiah prayed to the LORD: "O LORD, God of Israel,
enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of
the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
1CH 16:26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the
heavens.
NEH 9:6 You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest
heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the
seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the
multitudes of heaven worship you.
JOB 9:8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the
sea.
9 He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the
constellations of the south.
10:3 Does it please you to oppress me, to spurn the work of your hands,
while you smile on the schemes of the wicked?
8 "Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me?
9 Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust
again?
10 Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese,
11 clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and
sinews?
12 You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched
over my spirit.
12:10 In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all
mankind.
26:7 He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the
earth over nothing.
13 By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding
serpent.
27:3 as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils,
28:26 when he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm,
27 then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested
it.
31:15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one
form us both within our mothers?
33:4 The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me
life.
34:19 who shows no partiality to princes and does not favor the rich over
the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?
37:16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who is
perfect in knowledge?
18 can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast
bronze?
38:4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you
understand.
7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for
joy?
8 "Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10 when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place,
36 Who endowed the heart with wisdom or gave understanding to the mind?
PSA 8:3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon
and the stars, which you have set in place,
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of
his hands.
24:1 The earth is the LORD'S, and everything in it, the world, and all who
live in it;
2 for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by
the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into
storehouses.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
65:6 who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with
strength,
74:16 The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun
and moon.
17 It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both
summer and winter.
78:69 He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he
established forever.
86:9 All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O
Lord; they will bring glory to your name.
89:11 The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the
world and all that is in it.
12 You created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at
your name.
47 Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created
all men!
90:2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the
world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
94:9 Does he who implanted the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye
not see?
95:4 In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks
belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our
Maker;
100:3 Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we
are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
102:25 In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the
heavens are the work of your hands.
103:22 Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise
the LORD, O my soul.
104:2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the
heavens like a tent
3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the
clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above
the mountains.
24 How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth
is full of your creatures.
30 When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of
the earth.
119:90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you
established the earth, and it endures.
121:2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
136:5 who by his understanding made the heavens, His love endures forever.
6 who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever.
7 who made the great lights--His love endures forever.
8 the sun to govern the day, His love endures forever.
9 the moon and stars to govern the night; His love endures forever.
139:13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my
mother's womb.
146:6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them--the
LORD, who remains faithful forever.
148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were
created.
6 He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree that will never
pass away.
149:2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in
their King.
PRO 3:19 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations, by understanding
he set the heavens in place;
8:26 before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the
world.
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the
horizon on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains
of the deep,
29 when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his
command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
16:4 The LORD works out everything for his own ends-- even the wicked for
a day of disaster.
20:12 Ears that hear and eyes that see--the LORD has made them both.
22:2 Rich and poor have this in common: The LORD is the Maker of them all.
26:10 Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or any
passer-by.
30:4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind
in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who
has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name
of his son? Tell me if you know!
ECC 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set
eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done
from beginning to end.
7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone
in search of many schemes."
11:5 As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in
a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all
things.
12:1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of
trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure
in them"--
ISA 17:7 In that day men will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to
the Holy One of Israel.
37:16 "O LORD Almighty, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you
alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and
earth.
40:12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the
breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the
earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in
a balance?
26 Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who
brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because
of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and
his understanding no one can fathom.
42:5 This is what God the LORD says--he who created the heavens and
stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it,
who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:
43:1 But now, this is what the LORD says--he who created you, O Jacob, he
who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have
summoned you by name; you are mine.
7 everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I
formed and made."
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel's Creator, your King."
44:2 This is what the LORD says--he who made you, who formed you in the
womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant,
Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
24 "This is what the LORD says--your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb:
I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the
heavens, who spread out the earth by myself,
45:7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create
disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.
12 It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands
stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.
18 For this is what the LORD says--he who created the heavens, he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to
be empty, but formed it to be inhabited--he says: "I am the LORD, and there
is no other.
48:13 My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand
spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they all stand up together.
51:13 that you forget the LORD your Maker, who stretched out the heavens
and laid the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror
every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on
destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor?
16 I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my
hand--I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the
earth, and who say to Zion, 'You are my people.'"
64:8 Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.
66:2 Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?"
declares the LORD. "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite
in spirit, and trembles at my word.
JER 5:22 Should you not fear me?" declares the LORD. "Should you not
tremble in my presence? I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an
everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot
prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it.
10:12 But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his
wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
16 He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the Maker
of all things, including Israel, the tribe of his inheritance--the LORD
Almighty is his name.
27:5 With my great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its
people and the animals that are on it, and I give it to anyone I please.
31:35 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day,
who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so
that its waves roar--the LORD Almighty is his name:
32:17 "Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your
great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.
33:2 "This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who
formed it and established it--the LORD is his name:
51:15 "He made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom
and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
16 When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise
from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out
the wind from his storehouses.
DAN 5:23 Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You
had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles,
your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods
of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or
hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand
your life and all your ways.
AMO 4:13 He who forms the mountains, creates the wind, and reveals his
thoughts to man, he who turns dawn to darkness, and treads the high places
of the earth--the LORD God Almighty is his name.
5:8 (he who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns blackness into dawn and
darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them
out over the face of the land--the LORD is his name--
9:6 he who builds his lofty palace in the heavens and sets its foundation
on the earth, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over
the face of the land--the LORD is his name.
JON 1:9 He answered, "I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of
heaven, who made the sea and the land."
ZEC 12:1 This is the word of the LORD concerning Israel. The LORD, who
stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who
forms the spirit of man within him, declares:
MAL 2:10 Have we not all one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do we
profane the covenant of our fathers by breaking faith with one another?
MAR 10:6 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and
female.'
13:19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning,
when God created the world, until now--and never to be equaled again.
ACT 4:24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer
to God. "Sovereign Lord," they said, "you made the heaven and the earth and
the sea, and everything in them.
7:50 Has not my hand made all these things?'
14:15 "Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you.
We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless
things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything
in them.
17:24 "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of
heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.
25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because
he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the
whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places
where they should live.
28 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own
poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'
ROM 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--
his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being
understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
11:36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be
the glory forever! Amen.
1CO 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things
came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through
whom all things came and through whom we live.
12:18 But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of
them, just as he wanted them to be.
24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has
combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts
that lacked it,
25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts
should have equal concern for each other.
15:38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of
seed he gives its own body.
2CO 4:6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his
light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Christ.
5:5 Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us
the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and
gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
EPH 3:9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery,
which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
1TI 6:13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ
Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession,
I charge you
HEB 1:1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at
many times and in various ways,
2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed
heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
2:10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and
through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation
perfect through suffering.
3:4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of
everything.
11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command,
so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose
architect and builder is God.
12:9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we
respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our
spirits and live!
1PE 4:19 So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit
themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
REV 4:11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and
power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and
have their being."
10:6 And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the
heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the
sea and all that is in it, and said, "There will be no more delay!
14:7 He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the
hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth,
the sea and the springs of water."
