John 1:1-9 ▼

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

2 He was with God in the beginning.

3 Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.

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

5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

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

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

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

9 The true Light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
