Genesis 1:1-3

GNT

NIV

1 In the beginning, when God created the universe,
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water.
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 Then God commanded, "Let there be light" - and light appeared.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
