Genesis 1:3 in context

  1. 1In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
  2. 2The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
  3. 3God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
  4. 4God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.
  5. 5God called the light “day”, and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
