John 1:1-14 In the beginning was the word, and the word was toward God, and God was the word. "

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the beginning was the word, and the word was toward God, and God was the word. " ² This was in the beginning toward God. ³ All came into being through it, and apart from it not even one thing came into being which has come into being." ⁴ In it was life, and the life was the light of men." ⁵ And the light is appearing in the darkness, and the darkness grasped it not." ⁶ There came to be a man, commissioned by God. His name was John." ⁷ This one came for a testimony, that he should be testifying concerning the light, that all should be believing through it." ⁸ Not he was the light, but he came that he should be testifying concerning the light. " ⁹ It was the true light - which is enlightening every man - coming into the world. ¹⁰ In the world He was, and the world came into being through Him, and the world knew Him not." ¹¹ To His own He came, and those who are His own accepted Him not." ¹² Yet whoever obtained Him, to them He gives the right to become children of God, to those who are believing in His name, ¹³ who were begotten, not of bloods, neither of the will of the flesh, neither of the will of a man, but of God." ¹⁴ And the Word became flesh and tabernacles among us, and we gaze at His glory, a glory as of an only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."
