Genesis 3: 9- 15, 20
| 3:9 | Og Gud Herren kaldte på Adam og sagde til ham: "Hvor er du?” |
| 3:10 | Og han sagde, "Jeg hørte din stemme i paradis, og jeg var bange, fordi jeg var nøgen, og så gemte jeg mig.” |
| 3:11 | sagde han til ham, "Hvem fortalte dig så, at du var nøgen, hvis du ikke har spist af det træ, som jeg har befalet dig, at du ikke må spise af?” |
| 3:12 | Og Adam sagde, "Kvinden, som du gav mig som ledsager, gav mig fra træet, og jeg spiste." |
| 3:13 | Og Gud Herren sagde til kvinden, "Hvorfor har du gjort dette?” Og hun svarede, "Slangen bedragede mig, og jeg spiste." |
| 3:14 | Og Gud Herren sagde til slangen: "Fordi du har gjort det her, du er forbandet blandt alt levende, selv jordens vilde dyr. På dit bryst skal du rejse, og jorden skal du spise, alle dit livs dage. |
| 3:15 | Jeg vil sætte fjendskab mellem dig og kvinden, mellem dit afkom og hendes afkom. Hun vil knuse dit hoved, og du vil ligge og vente på hendes hæl." |
| 3:20 | Og Adam kaldte sin hustrus navn, 'Eva,« fordi hun var alle de levendes moder. |
Ephesians 1: 3- 6, 11- 12
| 1:3 | Velsignet være vor Herre Jesu Kristi Gud og Fader, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, i Kristus, |
| 1:4 | just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and immaculate in his sight, in charity. |
| 1:5 | He has predestined us to adoption as sons, gennem Jesus Kristus, in himself, according to the purpose of his will, |
| 1:6 | for the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has gifted us in his beloved Son. |
| 1:11 | I ham, we too are called to our portion, having been predestined in accord with the plan of the One who accomplishes all things by the counsel of his will. |
| 1:12 | So may we be, to the praise of his glory, we who have hoped beforehand in Christ. |
Luke 1: 26- 38
| 1:26 | Derefter, in the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, |
| 1:27 | to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary. |
| 1:28 | And upon entering, the Angel said to her: “Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.” |
| 1:29 | And when she had heard this, she was disturbed by his words, and she considered what kind of greeting this might be. |
| 1:30 | And the Angel said to her: "Vær ikke bange, Mary, for you have found grace with God. |
| 1:31 | Se, you shall conceive in your womb, and you shall bear a son, and you shall call his name: JESUS. |
| 1:32 | He will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father. And he will reign in the house of Jacob for eternity. |
| 1:33 | And his kingdom shall have no end.” |
| 1:34 | Then Mary said to the Angel, “How shall this be done, since I do not know man?” |
| 1:35 | And in response, the Angel said to her: “The Holy Spirit will pass over you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. And because of this also, the Holy One who will be born of you shall be called the Son of God. |
| 1:36 | Og se, your cousin Elizabeth has herself also conceived a son, in her old age. And this is the sixth month for her who is called barren. |
| 1:37 | For no word will be impossible with God.” |
| 1:38 | Then Mary said: "Se, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her. |
