The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him, The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. $ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it... 14 So the Word became human and made his home among us.
