John:1:1-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the beginning was the Word ,
and the Word was with God ,
and the Word was God .
*
He was in the beginning with God .
*
All things came into being through Him ,
and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being .
*
In Him was life ,
and the life was the light of men ;
*
and the light shines in the darkness ,
and the darkness did not overtake it .
*
There was a man sent from God ;
his name was John .
*
He came for a witness ,
that he might witness concerning the Light ,
that all might believe through Him .
*
He was not that Light ,
but that he might witness concerning the Light .
*
He was the true Light ;
He enlightens every man coming into the world .
*
He was in the world ,
and the world came into being through Him ,
yet the world did not know Him .
*
He came to His own ,
and His own did not receive Him .
*
But as many as received Him ,
to them He gave authority to become children of God ,
to the ones believing into His name ,
*
who were born not of bloods ,
nor of the will of the flesh ,
nor of the will of man ,
but were born of God .
*
And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us .
And we beheld His glory ,
glory as of an only begotten from the Father ,
full of grace and of truth .
*
witnesses concerning Him ,
and has cried out ,
saying ,
This One was He of whom I said ,
He coming after me has been before me ,
for He was preceding me .
*
And out of His fullness we all received ,
and grace on top of grace .
*
For the Law was given through Moses ,
but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ .
*
No one has seen God at any time ;
the only begotten Son ,
who is in the bosom of the Father ,
that One reveals Him .
