5TheG3588 LightG5457 shinesG5316 inG1722 theG3588 darknessG4653, andG2532 theG3588 darknessG4653 has notG3756 overcomeG26381 itG846.

6There cameG1096 a manG444 who was sentG649 fromG3844 GodG2316. HisG846 nameG3686 was JohnG2491. 7HeG3778 cameG2064 asG1519 a witnessG3141 toG2443 testifyG3140 aboutG4012 theG3588 LightG5457, so thatG2443 throughG1223 himG846 everyoneG3956 might believeG4100. 8He himselfG1565 wasG1510 notG3756 theG3588 LightG5457, butG235 he came to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 theG3588 LightG5457.

9TheG3588 trueG228 LightG5457, whoG3739 gives light toG5461 everyoneG3956G444, wasG1510 comingG2064 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG2889. 10He wasG1510 inG1722 theG3588 worldG2889, andG2532 though theG3588 worldG2889 was madeG1096 throughG1223 HimG846, theG3588 worldG2889 did notG3756 recognizeG1097 HimG846. 11He cameG2064 toG1519 His ownG2398, andG2532 His ownG2398 did notG3756 receiveG3880 HimG846. 12ButG1161 toG846 all whoG3745 did receiveG2983 HimG846, to thoseG3588 who believedG4100 inG1519 HisG846 nameG3686, He gaveG1325 the rightG1849 to becomeG1096 childrenG5043 of GodG2316— 13children born notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the desireG2307G4561 or willG2307 of manG435, butG235 bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316.
