John 1:1–14
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
1:6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
1:8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
1:9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognise him.
1:11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
1:12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
1:13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
1:14 The Word became flesh and lived amongst us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
