彼甘忘太古以上帝命而有諸天及地自水而出、以水而結、

彼不欲知、太初之世、上帝有命、天地以成、地由水出、因以堅凝、

彼不欲知太初以主命而有天、亦有地出於水、賴水而立、賴水而立或作立於水中

是亦不思而已矣！夫太初天地之成、實憑天主之言；地由水成、因以堅凝、

Long ago, God’s word brought the heavens into being. His word separated the earth from the waters. And the waters surrounded it. But these people forget things like that on purpose.

For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,

They deliberately forget that God made the heavens long ago by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water.

They deliberately overlook this: By the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth was brought about from water and through water.

For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,

For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,

For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;

They willfully ignore this: Long ago the heavens and the earth were brought about from water and through water by the word of God.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

For they deliberately suppress this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water.

For this they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,

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.

And God said,“ Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”

And God said,“ Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.

for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.

who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever.

and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lieand so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom, when they are not able to understand it?
