John 1: 1 -
18
|
1 |
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. |
2 |
He was in the beginning with God;
|
3 |
all things were made through him, and
without him was not anything made that was made. |
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 overcome it. |
6 |
There was a man sent from God, whose name
was John. |
7 |
He came for testimony, to bear witness to
the light, that all might believe through him. |
8 |
He was not the light, but came to bear
witness to the light. |
9 |
The true light that enlightens every man was
coming into the world. |
10 |
He was in the world, and the world was made
through him, yet the world knew him not. |
11 |
He came to his own home, and his own people
received him not. |
12 |
But to all who received him, who believed in
his name, he gave power to become children of God; |
13 |
who were born, not of blood nor of the will
of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. |
14 |
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among
us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son
from the Father. |
15 |
(John bore witness to him, and cried, "This
was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before
me.'") |
16 |
And from his fulness have we all received,
grace upon grace. |
17 |
For the law was given through Moses; grace
and truth came through Jesus Christ. |
18 |
No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who
is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known. |
