1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2He was in the beginning with God.

3All things came into being through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.

4In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
