John 1:5-13
5And 1the LightG5457 shinesG5316 in the darknessG4653, and the darknessG4653 did not 2graspG2638 it.
6A manG444 3cameG1096, one sentG649 from GodG2316, and his nameG3686 was 4JohnG2491. 75He cameG2064 67as a witnessG3141, to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 the LightG5457, 8soG2443 thatG2443 allG3956 might believeG4100 throughG1223 him. 8910He was not the LightG5457, but he came to testifyG3140 aboutG4012 the LightG5457.
911This was 12the trueG228 LightG5457 13thatG3739, comingG2064 into the worldG2889, enlightensG5461 everyG3956 personG444. 10He was in the worldG2889, and 14the worldG2889 cameG1096 intoG1096 beingG1096 throughG1223 Him, and yet the worldG2889 did not 15knowG1097 Him. 11He cameG2064 to His 16ownG2398, and His ownG3588 peopleG3588 did not 17acceptG3880 Him. 12But 18asG3745 manyG3745 asG3745 receivedG2983 Him, to them He gaveG1325 the rightG1849 to becomeG1096 19childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 20to thoseG3588 who 21believeG4100 in His nameG3686, 1322whoG3739 were 23bornG1080, not of 24bloodG129, norG3761 of the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 of the willG2307 of a manG435, but of GodG2316.
