* In the beginning was the Word , and the Word was with God , and the Word was God . * This was in the beginning with God . * All things were made by him , and without him not a single creature was made . * In him was life , and the life was the light of man . * And the light shone in darkness , but the darkness received it not . * A man named John , was sent from God . * This man came as a witness , to testify concerning the light , that through him , all might believe . * He was not himself the light ; but came to testify concerning the light . * The true light was he who , coming into the world , enlightens every man . * He was in the world , and the world was made by him ; yet the world knew him not . * He came to his own land , and his own people did not receive him ; * but to as many as received him , believing in his name , he granted the privilege of being children of God ; * who derive their birth not from blood , nor from the desire of the flesh , nor from the will of man , but from God . * And the Word became incarnate , and sojourned amongst us , (and we beheld his glory , the glory as of the only begotten of the Father ,) full of favor and truth . * (It was concerning him John testified , when he cried , This is He of whom I said , He that comes after me , is preferred to me ; for he was before me .) * Of his fulness we all have received , even favor for favor 's sake ; * for the law was given by Moses-the favor and the truth came by Jesus Christ . * No one ever saw God ; it is the only begotten Son , who is in the bosom of the Father , who has made him known .
