John 1:4-14

Common English Bible CEB

4 through the Word was life, and the life was the light for all people.

5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness doesn't extinguish the light.

6 A man named John was sent from God.

7 He came as a witness to testify concerning the light, so that through him everyone would believe in the light.

8 He himself wasn't the light, but his mission was to testify concerning the light.

9 The true light that shines on all people was coming into the world.

10 The light was in the world, and the world came into being through the light, but the world didn't recognize the light.

11 The light came to his own people, and his own people didn't welcome him.

12 But those who did welcome him, those who believed in his name, he authorized to become God's children,

13 born not from blood nor from human desire or passion, but born from God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his home among us. We have seen his glory, glory like that of a father's only son, full of grace and truth.

New International Version NIV

4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

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

6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John.

7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.

8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
