I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.

I was formed a long, long time ago. I was formed at the very beginning, when the world was created.

Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth.

I was formed before ancient times, from the beginning, before the earth began.

From eternity I was established, From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.

I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.

I was formed before ancient times, from the beginning, before the earth began.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

From eternity I was appointed, from the beginning, from before the world existed.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed.

Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!

For the Lord declares,“ I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain.”

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel, whose origins are in the distant past, will come from you on my behalf.

We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life.This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us.

And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ— everything in heaven and on earth.Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.

Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.

Then God said,“ Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
