John 1:6

4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.

5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.

8 He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
