1 The Word was first, the Word present to God, God present to the Word. The Word was God,

2 in readiness for God from day one.

3 Everything was created through him; nothing - not one thing! - came into being without him.

4 What came into existence was Life, and the Life was Light to live by.

5 The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn't put it out.
