Living_Oracles(i)
2 This was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him, and without him not a single creature was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of man.
5 And the light shone in darkness, but the darkness received it not.
6 A man named John, was sent from God.
7 This man came as a witness, to testify concerning the light, that through him, all might believe.
8 He was not himself the light; but came to testify concerning the light.
9 The true light was he who, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him; yet the world knew him not.
11 He came to his own land, and his own people did not receive him;
12 but to as many as received him, believing in his name, he granted the privilege of being children of God;
13 who derive their birth not from blood, nor from the desire of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from God.
14 And the Word became incarnate, and sojourned amongst us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of favor and truth.
15 (It was concerning him John testified, when he cried, This is He of whom I said, He that comes after me, is preferred to me; for he was before me.)
16 Of his fulness we all have received, even favor for favor's sake;
17 for the law was given by Moses-the favor and the truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No one ever saw God; it is the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, who has made him known.
