John 1:3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
