GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 1:1-17 and John 1:1-5
1 - The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham (briefly summarized, lol) 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.. ..5 and.. Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah (yes David had to repent, not only was the story with Bathsheba, but he sent Uriah to the front line in battle!!) 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, ..8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat (does anyone ever say ‘holy Jehoshaphat!’ any more?) …12 And after the deportation to Babylon ..13 and Zerubbabel the father of.. 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.
John 1:1 - In the beginning [arché – properly, from the beginning (temporal sense), the initial starting point, what comes first and therefore is chief/foremost, i.e. has the priority because ahead of the rest and preeminent, the first, beginning] was the Word, the Word was with God, and was God. (Jesus is the onLy straight out from God one, forever preeminent, Lord of Lords and King of kings.] 2 He was in the beginning with [and, or “toward” / prós - “interfaces with”] God. 3 All [aha! another place where the translators added “things” to the greek word “pas” - “all”] were made through [dia - through, on account of, by the instrumentality of, because of] him. And without him not one [heis - one — the translators added “things” here too, to “one”] (not one) came into being [ginomai]. 4 In him was Life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ 2 Corinthians 1:1-7
1 - From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother — To the church of God that is at Corinth (at least third letter to) and all the believers in all of Achaia [most of Greece during Rome’s rule].
2 Grace to you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus. 3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we may be able to comfort others, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort also. 6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings and persecutions which we suffer. 7 Our hope for you is unshaken. For we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort!
