- In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God. - God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him. - The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it. - But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
- So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
- No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.
- I didn’t know he was the one, but when God sent me to baptize with water, he told me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
God’s way is perfect.
All the Lord’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.Next verse!With image
