No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, He who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared [Him].

I and the Father are one."

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He that has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

The Lord made me the beginning of His ways for His works.

Even before He made the depths, before the fountains of water came forth;

The Lord made countries and uninhabited [lands], and the highest inhabited parts of the world.

and when He strengthened the clouds above, and when He secured the fountains of the earth;

I was by Him, suiting myself to Him, I was that in which He took delight; and daily I rejoiced in His presence continually.

who, existing in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation,

Then I looked, and I heard as it were the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the elders. And the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and a thousand thousands,

And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power to Him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever. Amen!"

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

All things came to be through Him, and without Him nothing came to be which has come to be.

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

having been foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, He was made manifest in these last times for you,

And all those who dwell on the earth shall worship him, whose name is not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
