John 1:3-14

31AllG3956 thingsG3956 cameG1096 intoG1096 beingG1096 throughG1223 Him, and apartG5565 from Him 2notG3761 evenG3761 oneG1520 thingG1520 cameG1096 intoG1096 beingG1096 that has comeG1096 intoG1096 beingG1096. 43In Him was lifeG2222, and the lifeG2222 was 4the LightG5457 of mankindG444. 5And 5the LightG5457 shinesG5316 in the darknessG4653, and the darknessG4653 did not 6graspG2638 it.

6A manG444 7cameG1096, one sentG649 from GodG2316, and his nameG3686 was 8JohnG2491. 79He cameG2064 1011as a witnessG3141, to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 the LightG5457, 12soG2443 thatG2443 allG3956 might believeG4100 throughG1223 him. 81314He was not the LightG5457, but he came to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 the LightG5457.

915This was 16the trueG228 LightG5457 17thatG3739, comingG2064 into the worldG2889, enlightensG5461 everyG3956 personG444. 10He was in the worldG2889, and 18the worldG2889 cameG1096 intoG1096 beingG1096 throughG1223 Him, and yet the worldG2889 did not 19knowG1097 Him. 11He cameG2064 to His 20ownG2398, and His ownG3588 peopleG3588 did not 21acceptG3880 Him. 12But 22asG3745 manyG3745 asG3745 receivedG2983 Him, to them He gaveG1325 the rightG1849 to becomeG1096 23childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 24to thoseG3588 who 25believeG4100 in His nameG3686, 1326whoG3739 were 27bornG1080, not of 28bloodG129, norG3761 of the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 of the willG2307 of a manG435, but of GodG2316.

14And 29the WordG3056 30becameG1096 fleshG4561, and 31dweltG4637 amongG1722 us; and 32we sawG2300 His gloryG1391, gloryG1391 as of the onlyG3439 Son from the FatherG3962, fullG4134 of 33graceG5485 and 34truthG225.
