John 1:3-13

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

3 Everything came into existence through him. Not one thing that exists was made without him.

4 He was the source of life, and that life was the light for humanity.

5 The light shines in the dark, and the dark has never extinguished it.

6 God sent a man named John to be his messenger.

7 John came to declare the truth about the light so that everyone would become believers through his message.

8 John was not the light, but he came to declare the truth about the light.

9 The real light, which shines on everyone, was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him. Yet, the world didn't recognize him.

11 He went to his own people, and his own people didn't accept him.

12 However, he gave the right to become God's children to everyone who believed in him.

13 These people didn't become God's children in a physical way--from a human impulse or from a husband's desire [to have a child]. They were born from God.

New International Version NIV

3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

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.
