1 In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 All things were made through Him, and apart from Him nothing was made that has come into being.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that through him everyone might believe.
