John 1:5-13
51The LightG5457 shinesG5316 in the darknessG4653, and the darknessG4653 did not 2comprehendG2638 it.
6There 3cameG1096 a manG444 sentG649 from GodG2316, whoseG846 nameG3686 was 4JohnG2491. 75He cameG2064 67as a witnessG3141, to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 the LightG5457, 8soG2443 that allG3956 might believeG4100 throughG1223 him. 8910He was not the LightG5457, but he came to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 the LightG5457.
9There was 11the trueG228 LightG5457 12whichG3739, comingG2064 into the worldG2889, enlightensG5461 everyG3956 manG444. 10He was in the worldG2889, and 13the worldG2889 was madeG1096 throughG1223 Him, and the worldG2889 did not knowG1097 Him. 11He cameG2064 to His 14ownG2398, and thoseG3588 who were His ownG2398 did not receiveG3880 Him. 12But as manyG3745 as receivedG2983 Him, to them He gaveG1325 the rightG1849 to becomeG1096 15childrenG5043 of GodG2316, even 16to thoseG3588 who believeG4100 in His nameG3686, 1317whoG3739 were 18bornG1080, not of 19bloodG129 norG3761 of the willG2307 of the fleshG4561 norG3761 of the willG2307 of manG435, but of GodG2316.
