1:9 The
true light,
who gives light to
everyone,
was coming into the
world.
10 He
was in the
world,
and the
world was created by him,
but the
world did
not recognize him.
11 He
came to what was
his own,
but his
own people
did
not receive him.
12 But to
all who have
received him—those who
believe in his name—he has
given the
right to
become God’s children—
13 children not born by human parents or by human desire or a
husband’s decision,
but by God.
