nsb@John:1:4 @ He lived and his life gives light to all people.

nsb@John:1:5 @ His light shines through darkness and it cannot be extinguished.

nsb@John:1:6 @ God sent a man named John. (Malachi strkjv@3:1)

nsb@John:1:7 @ He came to tell about the light and help people have faith.

nsb@John:1:8 @ Not being the light he came to give a witness of it.

nsb@John:1:9 @ The true light, which gives light to every man, came into the world. (Isaiah strkjv@49:6)

nsb@John:1:10 @ The world was made through him. He was in the world and the world did not recognize him.
