In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made;
without him nothing was made that has been made.

In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
Psalm 19:1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
John 1:4-5 (NIV)
In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:9-13 (NIV)
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
John 1:14 (NIV)
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son [JESUS], who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life.
