John 1:9-14

9There wasG1510 the trueG228 lightG5457, even the lightG5457 which lighteth every manG444, comingG2064 into the worldG2889.

10He wasG1510 in the worldG2889, and the worldG2889 wasG1510 made through him, and the worldG2889 knewG1097 him not.

11He cameG2064 unto his ownG2398, and they that were his ownG2398 receivedG3880 him not.

12But as manyG3745 as receivedG2983 him, to them gaveG1325 he the rightG1849 to becomeG1096 childrenG5043 of GodG2316, even to them that believeG4100 on his nameG3686:

13who were bornG1080, not of bloodG129, nor of the will of the fleshG4561, nor of the will of manG435, but of GodG2316.

14And the WordG3056 becameG1096 fleshG4561, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his gloryG1391, gloryG1391 as of the onlyG3439 begottenG3439 from the FatherG3962), fullG4134 of graceG5485 and truthG225.
