'Beginning' in the Bible

And, Thou in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens.

For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have again need that one should teach you what are the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.

Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of the Christ, let us go on to what belongs to full growth, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God,

without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.
