John 1:1-9 ▼

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

2 He was with God in the beginning.

3 All things were made through Him, and nothing that was made was made without Him.

4 Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men.

5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

6 There was a man sent by God, whose name was John.

7 He arrived as a witness to offer testimony about the Light, so that all would believe through him.

8 He was not the Light, but he was to offer testimony about the Light.

9 The true Light, which illuminates every man, was coming into this world.
