91This was 2the trueG228 LightG5457 3thatG3739, comingG2064 into the worldG2889, enlightensG5461 everyG3956 personG444. 10He was in the worldG2889, and 4the worldG2889 cameG1096 intoG1096 beingG1096 throughG1223 Him, and yet the worldG2889 did not 5knowG1097 Him. 11He cameG2064 to His 6ownG2398, and His ownG3588 peopleG3588 did not 7acceptG3880 Him. 12But 8asG3745 manyG3745 asG3745 receivedG2983 Him, to them He gaveG1325 the rightG1849 to becomeG1096 9childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 10to thoseG3588 who 11believeG4100 in His nameG3686, 1312whoG3739 were 13bornG1080, not of 14bloodG129, norG3761 of the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 of the willG2307 of a manG435, but of GodG2316.

14And 15the WordG3056 16becameG1096 fleshG4561, and 17dweltG4637 amongG1722 us; and 18we sawG2300 His gloryG1391, gloryG1391 as of the onlyG3439 Son from the FatherG3962, fullG4134 of 19graceG5485 and 20truthG225.
