John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Creation is the work of God: "without Him was not anything made that was made." He only can create. The architect can rear a cathedral, the sculptor can cut forms of symmetry and grace from marble, the painter can depict life on his canvas, the machinist can construct engines that shall serve the nations; but not one of them can create. They work with materials already in existence. They bring existing things into new combinations; this is all. God alone can create. (D. Thomas, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.WEB: All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made. |
