John 1:5-15

The Darby Translation DBY

5 And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, his name John.

7 He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.

8 *He* was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.

9 The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.

10 He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came to his own, and his own received him not;

12 but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;

13 who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.

14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;

15 (John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me;)

New International Version NIV

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.

15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”)
