1-7.
He came for testimony,
to bear witness to the light,
that all might believe through him.
1-8.
He was not the light,
but came to bear witness to the light.
1-9.
The true light that enlightens
every man was coming into the world.
1-10.
He was in the world,
and the world was made through him,
yet the world knew him not.
1-11.
He came to his own home,
and his own people received him not.
1-12.
But to all who received him,
who believed in his name,
he gave power to become children of God;
1-13.
who were born, not of blood
nor of the will of the flesh
nor of the will of man,
but of God.
