John 1:1-18
1InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG1510 the WordG3588G3056, andG2532 the WordG3588G3056 wasG1510 withG4314 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 the WordG3588G3056 wasG1510 GodG2316. 2The sameG3778 wasG1510 inG1722 the beginningG746 withG4314 GodG3588G2316. 3All thingsG3956 were madeG1096 byG1223 himG846; andG2532 withoutG5565 himG846 wasG1096 notG3761 any thingG1520 madeG1096 thatG3739 was madeG1096. 4InG1722 himG846 wasG1510 lifeG2222; andG2532 the lifeG3588G2222 wasG1510 the lightG3588G5457 of menG3588G444. 5AndG2532 the lightG3588G5457 shinethG5316 inG1722 darknessG3588G4653; andG2532 the darknessG3588G4653 comprehendedG2638 itG846 notG3756.
6There wasG1096 a manG444 sentG649 fromG3844 GodG2316, whoseG846 nameG3686 was JohnG2491. 7The sameG3778 cameG2064 forG1519 a witnessG3141, toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 the LightG3588G5457, thatG2443 allG3956 men throughG1223 himG846 might believeG4100. 8He wasG1510 notG3756 thatG1565 LightG3588G5457, butG235 was sent toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 that LightG3588G5457. 9That wasG1510 the trueG228 LightG3588G5457, whichG3739 lightethG5461 everyG3956 manG444 that comethG2064 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889. 10He wasG1510 inG1722 the worldG3588G2889, andG2532 the worldG3588G2889 was madeG1096 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 the worldG3588G2889 knewG1097 himG846 notG3756. 11He cameG2064 untoG1519 his ownG2398, andG2532 his ownG2398 receivedG3880 himG846 notG3756. 12ButG1161 as many asG3745 acceptedG2983 himG846, to themG846 gave heG1325 powerG1849 to becomeG1096 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, even to themG3588 that believeG4100 onG1519 hisG846 nameG3588G3686: 13WhichG3739 were bornG1080, notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of manG435, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316. 14AndG2532 the WordG3588G3056 was madeG1096 fleshG4561, andG2532 dweltG4637 amongG1722 usG1473, (andG2532 we beheldG2300 hisG846 gloryG3588G1391, the gloryG1391 asG5613 of the only begottenG3439 ofG3844 the FatherG3962,) fullG4134 of graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225.
15JohnG2491 bare witnessG3140 ofG4012 himG846, andG2532 criedG2896, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 wasG1510 he of whomG3739 I spakeG3004, He thatG3588 comethG2064 afterG3694 meG1473 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG1473: forG3754 he wasG1510 beforeG4413 meG1473. 16AndG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 fulnessG3588G4138 haveG2983 allG3956 weG1473 receivedG2983, andG2532 graceG5485 forG473 graceG5485. 17ForG3754 the lawG3588G3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG3588G5485 andG2532 truthG3588G225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 18No manG3762 hath seenG3708 GodG2316 at any timeG4455; the only begottenG3439 SonG5207, whichG3588 isG1510 inG1519 the bosomG3588G2859 of the FatherG3588G3962, heG1565 hath declaredG1834 him.
