ESV

1	In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2	The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3	And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4	And God saw that the light was good. And God 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 in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”
7	And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.
8	And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9	And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.
10	God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11	And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.
12	The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. 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 heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years,
15	and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.“ And it was so.
16	And God made the two great lights- the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night- and the stars.
17	And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18	to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the 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 waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”
21	So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22	And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
23	And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
24	And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds- livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.
25	And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26	Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27	So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
28	And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
29	And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.
30	And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.“ And it was so.
31	And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

NIV

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.

NLT

1	In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2	The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3	Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4	And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.
5	God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.
6	Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.”
7	And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens.
8	God called the space “sky.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day.
9	Then God said, “Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.” And that is what happened.
10	God called the dry ground “land” and the waters “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11	Then God said, “Let the land sprout with vegetation– every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened.
12	The land produced vegetation– all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
13	And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day.
14	Then God said, “Let great lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them mark off the seasons, days, and years.
15	Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.“ And that is what happened.
16	God made two great lights, the sun and the moon– the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17	God set these lights in the sky to light the earth,
18	to govern the day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19	And evening passed and morning came, marking the fourth day.
20	Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.”
21	So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird– each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
22	Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
23	And evening passed and morning came, marking the fifth day.
24	Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind– livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened.
25	God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
26	Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like ourselves. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
27	So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
28	Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”
29	Then God said, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food.
30	And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground– everything that has life.“ And that is what happened.
31	Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.

KJV

1	In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2	And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3	And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4	And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5	And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6	And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7	And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8	And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9	And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10	And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11	And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12	And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13	And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14	And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15	And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16	And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17	And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18	And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19	And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20	And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21	And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22	And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23	And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24	And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25	And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26	And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27	So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28	And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29	And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30	And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31	And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
