1From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God.
2This Word was from the first in relation with God.
3All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.
4What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.
|
9The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.
10He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.
|
14And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.
