In the Beginning, God

In the beginning was the Word

And the Word was with God

And the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God [and]

All things came into being through Him

And apart from Him not one thing

came into being which has come into being.

In Him was life

And the life was the light of men.

And the light shines in the darkness

And the darkness did not overcome it.

In Him was life

And the life was the light of men.

And the light shines in the darkness

And the darkness did not overcome it.
