In the text

Matthew 1:1γενέσεως
This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
Luke 1:14γενέσει
He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
James 1:23γενέσεως
For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
