John 1:1–14

Prologue

1In the beginning ^awas the Word, ^bc

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God. ^d

²He was with God in the beginning. ^e

³All things were created ^fthrough Him, ^g

and apart from Him not one thing was created

that has been created.

⁴Life was in Him, ^hi

and that life was the light ^jof men.

⁵That light shines ^kin the darkness,

yet the darkness did not overcome ^lit. ^m

⁶There was a man named John ⁿ

who was sent from God.

⁷He came as a witness

to testify about the light,

so that all might believe through him. ^o

⁸He was not the light,

but he came to testify ^pabout the light.

⁹The true light, ^qwho gives light to everyone,

was coming into the world. ^rs

¹⁰He was in the world,

and the world was created ^tthrough Him,

yet the world did not recognize Him.

¹¹He came to His own, ^u

and His own people ^vdid not receive Him.

¹²But to all who did receive ^wHim, ^x

He gave them the right ^yto be ^zchildren ^aof God, ^b

to those who believe ^cin His name, ^d

¹³who were born, ^e

not of blood, ^f

or of the will ^gof the flesh, ^h

or of the will of man, ⁱ

but of God. ^j

¹⁴The Word ^kbecame flesh ^lm

and took up residence ⁿamong us.

We observed His glory, ^o

the glory as the One and Only ^pSon ^qfrom the Father,

full of grace and truth.
