John 1:3-14

3 1All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him 2not even one thing came into being that has come into being. 4 3In Him was life, and the life was 4the Light of mankind. 5And 5the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not 6grasp it.

6A man 7came, one sent from God, and his name was 8John. 7 9He came 10 11as a witness, to testify about the Light, 12so that all might believe through him. 8 13 14He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

9 15This was 16the true Light 17that, coming into the world, enlightens every person. 10He was in the world, and 18the world came into being through Him, and yet the world did not 19know Him. 11He came to His 20own, and His own people did not 21accept Him. 12But 22as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become 23children of God, 24to those who 25believe in His name, 13 26who were 27born, not of 28blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a man, but of God.

14And 29the Word 30became flesh, and 31dwelt among us; and 32we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of 33grace and 34truth.
