John 1:4-9 ▼

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.

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