John 1:1–18

^aIn the beginning was ^bthe Word, and the Word was ^cwith God, and the Word ^dwas God. ²The same was in the beginning with God. ^3eAll things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ^4fIn him was life; and ^gthe life was the light of men. ⁵And ^hthe light shineth in ^hdarkness; and the darkness ⁱcomprehended it not.

⁶There was a man ^jsent from God, whose name was ^kJohn. ⁷The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, ^lthat all men through him might believe. ⁸He was not that ^mLight, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. ⁹ⁿThat was the true Light, which lighteth every man ^othat cometh into the world. ¹⁰He was in the world, and ^pthe world was made by him, and the world knew him not. ¹¹He came unto ^qhis own, and ^rhis own received him not. ¹²But as many as received him, to them gave he power ^sto become ^tthe sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: ¹³which were born, ^unot of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but ^wof God. ¹⁴And ^xthe Word ^ywas made flesh, and ^zdwelt among us, (and we beheld ^ahis glory, ^bthe glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) ^jfull of ^cgrace and truth. ¹⁵John ^dbare witness of him, and ^ecried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, ^fHe that cometh after me is ^gpreferred before me: ^hfor he was ⁱbefore me. ¹⁶And of his ^jfulness have all we received, and grace for grace. ¹⁷For ^kthe law was given by Moses, but ^lgrace and ^mtruth came by Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ⁿNo man ^qhath seen God at any time; ^othe only begotten Son, ^oowhich is in ^pthe bosom of the Father, he hath ^qdeclared him.
