body you were called to peace.And be thankful.Let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all
wisdom, and as you sing psalms,hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do,whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:15-17)
4- Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man."2.Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.
Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.3.In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord.4.But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,5.but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6.Then the Lord said to Cain,"Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?7.If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it." 8.Now Cain said to his brother Abel,"Let's go out to the field." And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9.Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" "I don't know," he replied."Am I my
brother's keeper?" 10.The Lord said,"What have you done ? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.11.Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.12.When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."13.Cain said to the Lord "My punishment is more than I can bear.14.Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."15.But the Lord said to him, "Not so; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.
16.So Cain went out from the Lord's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.17.Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and named it after his son Enoch.18.To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael,
and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.19.Lamech
married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.20.Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock.21.His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.22.Zillah also had a son , Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah.23.Lamech said to his wives,
"Adah and Zillah, listen to me; wives of Lamech, hear my words.I have killed a man for wounding me, a youg man for injuring me.24.If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times." 25.Adam lay with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying,
"God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him."26.Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the name of the Lord.
5- This is the written account of Adam's line. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.2.He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them "man."3.When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.4.After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and
daughters.5.Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died.6.When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father of Enosh.7.And after he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters.8.Altogether, Seth lived 912 years, and then he died.
9.When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan.10.And after he became the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters.11.Altogether, Enosh lived 905 years and then he died.12.When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel,
13.And after he became the father of Mahalalel,Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters.14.Altogether, Kenan lived 910 years, and then he died.15.When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared.16.And after he became the father of Jared, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters.17.Altogether, Mahalalel lived 895 years, and then he died.
18.When Jared had lived 162 years,he became the father of Enoch.19.And after he became the father of Enoch,Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.20.Altogether, Jared lived 962 years, and then he died. 21.When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah.22.And after he became the father of Methuselah,Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.23.Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years.24.Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.25.When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.26.And after he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and
had other sons and daughters.27.Altogether, Methuselah lived 969 years, and then he died.
28.When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son.29.He named him Noah and said, "He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed."
30.After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters.31.Altogether,
Lamech lived 777 years, and then he died.32.After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.
6- When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them,2.The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.3.Then the Lord said,"My Spirit will not content with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."4.The Nephilim were on the earth in those days- and also afterward- when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them.They were the heroes of old, men of renown.5.The Lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.6.The
Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.7.So the Lord said," I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth- men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air-for I am grieved that I have made them."8.But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
9.THIS IS THE ACCOUNT OF NOAH. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.10.Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. 11.Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full off violence.12.God saw how corrupt the earth became, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.13.So God said to Noah,"I am going to
put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them.I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.14.So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it
and coat it with pitch inside and out.15.This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long , 75 feet wide and 45 feet high.16.Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.17.I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.18.But I will establish my covenant with you, and
you will enter the ark-you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.19.Two
of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.21.You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them."22.Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
you righteous in this generation.2.Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its
mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,3.and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.4.Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."5.And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.
6.Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on earth.7.And Noah and his sons and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.8.Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground,9.male and female ,came to Noah
and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.10.And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.11.In the sixth hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month - on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.12.And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13.On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.14.They had with them every wild animal according to its
kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind, everything with wings.15.Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.16.The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in.17.For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the water increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.18.The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.19.They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.20.The waters rose
and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet.21.Every living thing that moved on the earth perished- birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.22.Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.23.Every living thing on the face the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. 24.The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
water receded steadily from the earth.At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down,4.and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of
Ararat.5.The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth
month the tops of the mountains became visible.6.After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark 7.and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried
up from the earth.8.Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the
ground.9.But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water all over the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark.10.He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from ark.11.When the dove returned to him in the evening, There in its beak was a freshly plucked
olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.12.He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.13.By the first day of the first month of Noah's six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then
removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.14.By the
twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.15.Then God said to Noah,
16."Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.17.Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you-the birds, the animals, and all the cretures that move along the ground.-so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number upon it."
18.So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives.19.All the animals and all the birds -everything that moves on the earth -came out of the oak, one kind after another.
20.Then Noah buildt an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds,
he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21.The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart :"Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.22."As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."
