1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind.
5 And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it.
