John 1:2-9
21He was in the beginningG746 with GodG2316. 32AllG3956 thingsG3956 cameG1096 intoG1096 beingG1096 throughG1223 Him, and apartG5565 from Him 3notG3761 evenG3761 oneG1520 thingG1520 cameG1096 intoG1096 beingG1096 that has comeG1096 intoG1096 beingG1096. 44In Him was lifeG2222, and the lifeG2222 was 5the LightG5457 of mankindG444. 5And 6the LightG5457 shinesG5316 in the darknessG4653, and the darknessG4653 did not 7graspG2638 it.
6A manG444 8cameG1096, one sentG649 from GodG2316, and his nameG3686 was 9JohnG2491. 710He cameG2064 1112as a witnessG3141, to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 the LightG5457, 13soG2443 thatG2443 allG3956 might believeG4100 throughG1223 him. 81415He was not the LightG5457, but he came to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 the LightG5457.
916This was 17the trueG228 LightG5457 18thatG3739, comingG2064 into the worldG2889, enlightensG5461 everyG3956 personG444.
