John 1:1-8 ▼

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

2 The Word was with God in the beginning.

3 All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created.

4 In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind.

5 And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it.

6 A man came, sent from God, whose name was John.

7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that everyone might believe through him.

8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.
