John 1:1-14

11In the beginningG746 was 2the WordG3056, and the WordG3056 was 3with GodG2316, and 4the WordG3056 was GodG2316. 25He was in the beginningG746 with GodG2316. 36AllG3956 thingsG3956 cameG1096 into beingG1096 throughG1223 Him, and apartG5565 from Him nothingG3761G1520 cameG1096 into beingG1096 that has comeG1096 into beingG1096. 47In Him was lifeG2222, and the lifeG2222 was 8the LightG5457 of menG444. 59The LightG5457 shinesG5316 in the darknessG4653, and the darknessG4653 did not 10comprehendG2638 it.

6There 11cameG1096 a manG444 sentG649 from GodG2316, whoseG846 nameG3686 was 12JohnG2491. 713He cameG2064 1415as a witnessG3141, to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 the LightG5457, 16soG2443 that allG3956 might believeG4100 throughG1223 him. 81718He was not the LightG5457, but he came to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 the LightG5457.

9There was 19the trueG228 LightG5457 20whichG3739, comingG2064 into the worldG2889, enlightensG5461 everyG3956 manG444. 10He was in the worldG2889, and 21the worldG2889 was madeG1096 throughG1223 Him, and the worldG2889 did not knowG1097 Him. 11He cameG2064 to His 22ownG2398, and thoseG3588 who were His ownG2398 did not receiveG3880 Him. 12But as manyG3745 as receivedG2983 Him, to them He gaveG1325 the rightG1849 to becomeG1096 23childrenG5043 of GodG2316, even 24to thoseG3588 who believeG4100 in His nameG3686, 1325whoG3739 were 26bornG1080, not of 27bloodG129 norG3761 of the willG2307 of the fleshG4561 norG3761 of the willG2307 of manG435, but of GodG2316.

14And 28the WordG3056 29becameG1096 fleshG4561, and 3031dweltG4637 amongG1722 us, and 32we sawG2300 His gloryG1391, gloryG1391 as of 33the onlyG3439 begottenG3439 from the FatherG3962, fullG4134 of 34graceG5485 and 35truthG225.
