- In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. - Through him all things came into existence,
and without him there was nothing.
That which came to be. - The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has been unable to overcome it. - However, to those who did accept him
and who believed in his name
he granted the power to become children of God. - And the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us.
And we saw his glory,
the glory as of the Father’s only Son,
full of grace and truth. - No one has ever seen God.
It is the only Son, God,
who is at the Father’s side,
who has made him known. - I myself did not know him,
but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me,
‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest
is the one who is to baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
Finally, brethren, let your minds be filled with whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, whatever is excellent, whatever is worthy of praise. With all humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another in a spirit of love.Next verse!With image
