The Deity of Jesus Christ

(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)And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.

The Witness of John the Baptist

There was a man having been sent from God, whose name was [b](I)John. [c]He came [d](J)as a witness, to bear witness about the Light, (K)so that all might believe through him. [e](L)He was not the Light, but he came to bear witness about the Light.

There was (M)the true Light [f]which, coming into the world, enlightens everyone.
