4. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
6. There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7. He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that through him everyone might believe.
8. He was not the light, but he came to bear witness concerning the light.
9. The true light, coming into the world, gives light to every man.
10. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him; but the world did not know Him.
11. He came to His own, but His own did not receive Him.
12. But whoever did receive Him, those trusting in His name, to these He gave the right to become children of God.
