In the beginning was the everlasting Word
and the everlasting Word was with God
and of godlike nature was the everlasting Word,
hence it was in the beginning with God.
By its activity all things came into being
and naught that exists came apart from its activity.
And the everlasting Word became man upon earth
and sojourned in our midst
and we beheld his glory-
glory given an only begotten by a Father-
fullof grace and truth.
And from his fulness have we all partaken:
grace upon grace.
For Moses gave the Law,
but Jesus Christ brought grace and truth.
No one has ever seen God;
the only-begotten Son,
who was in the Father's bosom,
he has made him known.
