Originally was the Word, and the Word was with God; and the Word was God. The same was originally with God. All things through him came into existence, and without him came into existence not even one thing: that which hath come into existence, in him was life, and the life was, the light of men. And the light in the darkness shineth; and the darkness thereof laid not hold.
There arose a man sent from God, whose name was John: The same came for a witness, That he might bear witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but that he might bear witness concerning the light, It was The real light that enlighteneth every man Coming into the world. In the world he was, and the world through him came into existence, and the world knew him not.
Into his own possessions he came, and his own people received him not home. But as many as did receive him, he gave unto them authority children of God to become, unto them who were believing on his name: Who, not of bloods nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God were born. And the Word became flesh and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory, a glory, as an Only-begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.
(John beareth witness concerning him and hath cried aloud, saying, the same was he that said, He who after me was coming before me hath advanced; because my Chief was he.) Because out of his fulness, we all received, even favour over against favour. Because the law through Moses was given, favour and truth through Jesus Christ, came into existence. No one hath seen God at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He hath interpreted him.
