American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon.
For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, {Or, in hope: because the creation & c.}in hope
that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain {Or, with us}together until now.
Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created.
saying with a great voice,Worthy is the Lamb that hath been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
