Genesis 1:1–3
In the beginning God created heaven and earth: and the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the water. And God said: Let there be light, and there was light.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Coverdale Bible, compiled by Myles Coverdale and published in 1535, was the first complete Modern English translation of the Bible (not just the Old, or New Testament), and the first complete printed translation into English (cf. Wycliffe's Bible in manuscript). The later editions (folio and quarto) published in 1537 were the first complete Bibles printed in England. The 1537 folio edition carried the royal licence and was therefore the first officially approved Bible translation in English. The Psalter from the Coverdale Bible was included in the Great Bible of 1540 and the Anglican Book of Common Prayer beginning in 1662, and in all editions of the U.S. Episcopal Church Book of Common Prayer until 1979.
