MLV(i)
2 This one was in the beginning with God.
3 All things became through him, and without him nothing became that has become into being.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light is appearing in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.
6 It happened that a man came, having been sent from God, and his name was John. 7 This one came to be a witness, in order that he might testify concerning the light, in order that all should believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came in order that he might testify concerning the light.
9 He was the true light coming into the world, the light which illuminates every man. 10 He was in the world and the world became through him and the world did not know him.
11 He came to his own and those who were his own did not receive him. 12 But as many as received him, he gave to them the authority to become children of God, to the believing ones in his name, 13 who were born, not from bloods, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from God.
14 And the Word became flesh and resided among us (and we saw his glory, glory like that of the only begotten from the Father), full of favor and truth. 15 John testifies concerning him and has cried, saying, This one was he of whom I spoke, He who is coming after me, has become before me, because he was first, then me. 16 And we all received out of his fullness and favor in exchange-for favor. 17 Because the law was given through Moses; the favor and the truth became through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at anytime; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, that one has described him.
