Genesis 1:1–3
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

The World English Bible (WEB) is an English translation of the Bible freely shared online.[5] The translation work began in 1994[4] and was deemed complete in 2020.[2] Created by Michael Paul Johnson with help from volunteers,[1][6] the WEB is an updated revision of the American Standard Version from 1901.[4]
The WEB has several versions available on its website, including both American and British styles of English.[5] Another important distinction is two types of Old Testament: one limited to protocanon, while the other includes apocrypha.[7]
