3 All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind.
5 And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it.
6 A man came, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that everyone might believe through him.
8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.
9 The true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
