John - ch 1 v 1 - 20
- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
- this one was in the beginning with God;
- all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.
- In him was life, and the life was the light of men,
- and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.
- There came a man -- having been sent from God -- whose name `is' John,
- this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
- that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light.
- He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;
- in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:
- to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;
- but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name,
- who -- not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but -- of God were begotten.
- And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
- John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, `This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'
- and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;
- for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;
- God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare.
- And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, `Who art thou?'
- and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed -- `I am not the Christ.'
