Genesis 3: 9- 15, 20

3:9 And the Lord God called Adam and said to him: “Where are you?”
3:10 Ja hän sanoi, “I heard your voice in Paradise, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and so I hid myself.”
3:11 He said to him, “Then who told you that you were naked, if you have not eaten of the tree from which I instructed you that you should not eat?”
3:12 And Adam said, “The woman, whom you gave to me as a companion, gave to me from the tree, and I ate.”
3:13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “Why have you done this?” And she responded, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
3:14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are cursed among all living things, even the wild beasts of the earth. Upon your breast shall you travel, and the ground shall you eat, kaikkina elämäsi päivinä.
3:15 I will put enmities between you and the woman, between your offspring and her offspring. She will crush your head, and you will lie in wait for her heel.”
3:20 And Adam called the name of his wife, ‘Eve,’ because she was the mother of all the living.

Ephesians 1: 3- 6, 11- 12

1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, in Christ,
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, through Jesus Christ, itsessään, 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 Hänessä, 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 Sitten, kuudennessa kuukaudessa, enkeli Gabriel oli Jumalan lähettämä, Galilean kaupunkiin nimeltä Nasaret,
1:27 neitsyelle, joka oli kihlattu miehelle, jonka nimi oli Joosef, Daavidin suvusta; ja neitsyen nimi oli Maria.
1:28 Ja sisään tullessa, enkeli sanoi hänelle: "Terve, arvokkuutta täynnä. Herra on kanssasi. Siunattu olet sinä naisten keskuudessa."
1:29 Ja kun hän oli kuullut tämän, hän oli järkyttynyt hänen sanoistaan, ja hän pohti, millainen tervehdys tämä voisi olla.
1:30 Ja enkeli sanoi hänelle: "Älä pelkää, Mary, sillä olet löytänyt armon Jumalan tykönä.
1:31 Katso, tulet raskaaksi kohdussasi, ja sinä synnytät pojan, ja annat hänelle nimen: JEESUS.
1:32 Hän on mahtava, ja häntä kutsutaan Korkeimman Pojaksi, ja Herra Jumala antaa hänelle hänen isänsä Daavidin valtaistuimen. Ja hän tulee hallitsemaan Jaakobin huoneessa iankaikkisesti.
1:33 Eikä hänen valtakunnallaan ole loppua."
1:34 Sitten Maria sanoi enkelille, "Kuinka tämä tehdään, koska en tunne miestä?”
1:35 And in response, enkeli sanoi hänelle: “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 Ja katso, 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: "Katso, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her.
