John 1:4-9 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ In him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. ⁶ A man came to be who was sent from God, his name was John. ⁷ This man came for testimony so that he might testify about the light, so that all might believe through him. ⁸ That man was not the light, but that he might testify about the light. ⁹ He was the true light coming into the world that enlightens every man.
