1 THE Logos existed in the very beginning, the Logos was with God, the Logos was divine.
2 He was with God in the very beginning:
3 through him all existence came into being, no existence came into being apart from him.
4 In him life lay, and this life was the Light for men:
5 amid the darkness the Light shone, but the darkness did not master it.
6 A man appeared, sent by God, whose name was John:
7 he came for the purpose of witnessing, to bear testimony to the Light, so that all men might believe by means of him.
8 He was not the Light; it was to bear testimony to the Light that he appeared.
9 The real Light, which enlightens every man, was coming then into the world:
10 he entered the world — the world which existed through him — yet the world did not recognize him;
11 he came to what was his own, yet his own folk did not welcome him.
12 On those who have accepted him, however, he has conferred the right of being children of God, that is, on those who believe in his Name,
13 who owe this birth of theirs to God, not to human blood, nor to any impulse of the flesh or of man.
14 So the Logos became flesh and tarried among us; we have seen his glory — glory such as an only son enjoys from his father — seen it to be full of grace and reality.
