John 1:1-8 ▼

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 This One was in the beginning with God.

3 All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.

4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5 And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

6 There was a man sent from God; His name was John.

7 This one came for testimony, so that he might testify concerning the Light, so that all might believe through him.

8 That one was not the Light, but it is so that he might testify concerning the Light.
