John 1:1-9 ▼

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

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 By Him were all things made, and without Him was not any one thing made that was made.

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

5 And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness attained it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John:

7 this man came for witness, that he might testify concerning the light, that through him all might believe.

8 He was not that light, but was sent to bear witness of the light.

9 The true light was that which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world.
