Proverbs 8:22-30

22 a“The Lord bpossessed
Or fathered; Septuagint created
me at the beginning of his work,
Hebrew way

the first of his acts eof old.
23Ages ago I was fset up,
at the first, gbefore the beginning of the earth.
24When there were no hdepths I was ibrought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
25Before the mountains jhad been shaped,
kbefore the hills, I was brought forth,
26before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
27When he lestablished the heavens, I was there;
when he drew ma circle on the face of the deep,
28when he nmade firm the skies above,
when he established
The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
the fountains of the deep,
29when he passigned to the sea its qlimit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out rthe foundations of the earth,
30then sI was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his
Or  daily filled with
udelight,
rejoicing before him always,

John 1:18

18 vNo one has ever seen God; wthe only God,
Or  the only One, who is God; some manuscripts  the only Son
who is at the Father’s side,
Greek in the bosom of the Father
zhe has made him known.

John 16:28

28 aaI came from the Father and have come into the world, and now abI am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

John 17:5

5And now, Father, acglorify me in your own presence with the glory adthat I had with you aebefore the world existed.

1 John 1:2
