  1. In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum.
  2. Hoc erat in principio apud Deum.
  3. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est.
  4. In ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hominum:
  5. et lux in tenebris lucet, et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt.
