| 1:1 |
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. |
| 1:2 |
He was with God in the beginning. |
| 1:3 |
All things were made through Him, and nothing that was made was made without Him. |
| 1:4 |
Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men. |
| 1:5 |
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. |
| 1:6 |
There was a man sent by God, whose name was John. |
| 1:7 |
He arrived as a witness to offer testimony about the Light, so that all would believe through him. |
| 1:8 |
He was not the Light, but he was to offer testimony about the Light. |
| 1:9 |
The true Light, which illuminates every man, was coming into this world. |
| 1:10 |
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him. |
| 1:11 |
He went to his own, and his own did not accept him. |
| 1:12 |
Yet whoever did accept him, those who believed in his name, he gave them the power to become the sons of God. |
| 1:13 |
These are born, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
| 1:14 |
And the Word became flesh, and he lived among us, and we saw his glory, glory like that of an only-begotten son from the Father, full of grace and truth. |
| 1:15 |
John offers testimony about him, and he cries out, saying: “This is the one about whom I said: ‘He who is to come after me, has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.’ ” |
| 1:16 |
And from his fullness, we all have received, even grace for grace. |
| 1:17 |
For the law was given though Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. |
| 1:18 |
No one ever saw God; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he himself has described him. |
