In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was a formless void and darkness was over the surface of the abyss and the wind of God hovered over the surface of the waters. God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
For God loved the world in this way: that he would give his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. | |
The Antioch Bible (Syriac: Ṣurath Kthobh[1]) is a bilingual Syriac–English edition of the Bible published by Gorgias Press.[2] It was derived, both the Old and New Testaments, from the Syriac Peshitta, used by the Assyrian Church of the East and Syriac Orthodox Church, and other Syriac Christian traditions.
