John 1:9-12

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

10He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.

11He came to his own, and his own received him not;

12but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of 1God, to those that believe on his name;
