Johannes 1,2

1 I begynnelsen var Ordet, og Ordet var hos Gud, og Ordet var Gud.

Han var hos Gud i begynnelsen.

3 Alle ting ble til ved ham, og uten ham ble ikke én ting til av det som er blitt til.

4 I ham var liv, og det livet var lyset for alle mennesker.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
