John 1:1 – 1:13

"1  In the beginning was the Conversation, and the Conversation was with God,
and the Conversation was God. 2  It was with God in the beginning. 3  Everything
came into being through it; not even one thing came into being without it. What
has come into being 4  by it was life, and the life was humanity’s light. 5  The light
shines in the darkness; the darkness did not overpower it.
6  A person came into being, sent by God, who was named John. 7  He came to tell
what was happening, so he could tell about the light so that everyone would trust
it because of him. 8  He was not the light himself, but he would tell about the light.
9  The true light that shines on every person was coming to the whole world. 10  It

was throughout the world, and the whole world came into being through it, but
the world did not recognize it. 11  It came to its own people, but its own people did
not accept it. 12  But to those who accepted it, to those who have placed their trust
in its name—it gave them the privilege of coming to be God’s children. 13  They
were brought into being not from layers of blood or from bodily desire or from a
man’s aspiration but from God.
