John 1: 1 - 5, 9 - 14
|
| 1
|
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
|
| 2
|
He was in the beginning with God;
|
| 3
|
all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
|
| 4
|
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
|
| 5
|
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
|
| 9
|
The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world.
|
| 10
|
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not.
|
| 11
|
He came to his own home, and his own people received him not.
|
| 12
|
But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God;
|
| 13
|
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
|
| 14
|
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.
