John 1:4-13
English Standard Version
4 (A)In him was life,[a] and (B)the life was the light of men. 5 (C)The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man (D)sent from God, whose name was (E)John. 7 He came as a (F)witness, to bear witness about the light, (G)that all might believe through him. 8 (H)He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9 (I)The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet (J)the world did not know him. 11 He came to (K)his own,[b] and (L)his own people[c] (M)did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, (N)who believed in his name, (O)he gave the right (P)to become (Q)children of God, 13 who (R)were born, (S)not of blood (T)nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
