^(a)In the beginning was ^(b)the Word, and the Word was ^(c)with God, and ^(d)the Word was God.

^[a]He was in the beginning with God.

^(e)All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

^(f)In Him was life, and the life was ^(g)the Light of men.

^(h)The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not ^[b]comprehend it.

There ^[c]came a man sent from God, whose name was ⁽ⁱ⁾John.

^[d]He came ^[e](j)as a witness, to testify about the Light, ^(k)so that all might believe through him.

^[f](l)He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

There was ^(m)the true Light ^[g]which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.

He was in the world, and ⁽ⁿ⁾the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

He came to His ^[h]own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become ^(o)children of God, even ^(p)to those who believe in His name,

^(q)who were ^[i]born, not of ^[j]blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

And ^(r)the Word ^(s)became flesh, and ^[k](t)dwelt among us, and ^(u)we saw His glory, glory as of ^[l]the only begotten from the Father, full of ^(v)grace and ^(w)truth.
