John 1:2-9

2He was in the beginning with 1God.

3All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.

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

5And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.

6There was a man sent from 2God, his name John.

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

8He was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.

9The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.
