Williams(i)
1 In the beginning the Word existed; and the Word was face to face with God; yea, the Word was God Himself.
2 He is the One who was face to face with God in the beginning.
3 It was through Him that everything came into existence, and apart from Him not a single thing came into existence.
4 It was by Him that life began to exist, and that life was the light of mankind.
5 So the light continues to shine in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it.
6 There appeared a man named John, sent from God.
7 He came for the purpose of testifying, to testify to the light, so that everyone through him might come to believe.
8 He was not the light; he came to testify to the light.
9 The real light, which sheds light upon everyone, was just coming into the world.
10 He came into the world, and though the world through Him began to exist, it did not recognize Him.
11 He came into His own world, but His own people did not welcome Him.
12 But to all who did accept Him, and trust in His name, He gave the right to become the children of God,
13 who were born of God and not of natural blood nor of physical or human impulse.
14 So the Word became human and lived a little while among us, and we actually saw His glory, the glory of One who is an only Son from His Father, and He was full of spiritual blessing and truth.
