1 Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος καὶ ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν He was in the beginning with God. He was with God in the beginning.
3 πάντα δι’ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο καὶ χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἕν ὃ γέγονεν All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4 ἐν αὐτῷ ζωὴ ἦν καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἦν τὸ φῶς τῶν ἀνθρώπων In him was life, and the life was the light of men. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
5 καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

8 οὐκ ἦν ἐκεῖνος τὸ φῶς ἀλλ’ ἵνα μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ φωτός He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 Ἦν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἀληθινὸν ὃ φωτίζει πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἐρχόμενον εἰς τὸν κόσμον The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
