web@John:1:5 @ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome {The word translated "overcome" (katelaben) can also be translated "comprehended." It refers to getting a grip on an enemy to defeat him.} it.

web@John:1:9 @ The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

web@John:1:13 @ who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

web@John:1:14 @ The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

web@John:1:17 @ For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

web@John:1:18 @ No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, {NU reads "God"} who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
