1 ^(A)In the beginning was ^(B)the Word, and the Word was ^(C)with God, and ^(D)the Word was God. ^2 [a]He was in the beginning with God. ^3 (E)All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him ^[b]not even one thing came into being that has come into being. ^4 (F)In Him was life, and the life was ^(G)the Light of mankind. ⁵ And ^(H)the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not ^[c]grasp it.

^9 [a]This was ^(A)the true Light ^[b]that, coming into the world, enlightens every person. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and ^(B)the world came into being through Him, and yet the world did not ^[c]know Him. ¹¹ He came to His ^[d]own, and His own people did not ^[e]accept Him. ¹² But ^[f]as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become ^(C)children of God, ^(D)to those who ^[g]believe in His name, ^13 (E)who were ^[h]born, not of ^[i]blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a man, but of God.

The Word Made Flesh

¹⁴ And ^(F)the Word ^(G)became flesh, and ^(H)dwelt among us; and ^(I)we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of ^(J)grace and ^(K)truth. ¹⁵ John *^(L)testified about Him and called out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘^(M)He who is coming after me has proved to be ^[j]my superior, ^(N)because He existed before me.’” ¹⁶ For of His ^(O)fullness ^[k]we have all received, and ^[l]grace upon grace. ¹⁷ For ^(P)the Law was given through Moses; ^(Q)grace and ^(R)truth ^[m]were realized through Jesus Christ. ^18 (S)No one has seen God at any time; ^(T)God the only Son, who is ^(U)in the ^[n]arms of the Father, ^(V)He has ^[o]explained Him.
