1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and
God was the Word. 2 This one was in
the beginning with God. 3 All things through him became, and without him
became not one thing which has become. 4 In him life was, and the life was
the light of men: 5 and the light n the darkness shines, and the darkness
it not overtook. 6 There was a man, having been sent from God, name to him
John; 7 this man came for witness, that he might witness concerning the
light, that all men might believe through him. 8 He was not that light, but
that he might witness concerning the light. 9 It was the light true, which
enlightens every man, coming into the world. 10 In the world he was, and
the world through him became, and the world him knew not. 11 To his own
things he came, and his own people him received not.

1:12 But as many as received him, he gave to them right children of
God to become, to the ones
believing in the name of him, 13 who not of blood nor of the will of the
flesh nor of the will of a man but of God were born. 14 And the Word
flesh became and tabernacled among us, and we beheld the glory of him,
glory as of an only begotten from a father, full of grace and of truth. 15
John witnesses concerning him and has cried out saying: This man was he
whom I said: The one after me coming before me has become, because first of
me he was. 16 Because of the fullness of him we all received, and grace
instead of grace: 17 because of the law through Moses was given, the grace
and the truth through Jesus Christ became. 18 God no man has seen never:
the only begotten God the one being in the bosom of the Father, that one
declared him.
