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. |
