¹⁵ Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.

³⁵ Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

² as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;

⁶³ It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, are are life.

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

² The same was in the beginning with God.

³ All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.

⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

⁵ And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.

⁶ There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

⁷ The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.

⁸ He was not the light, but `came' that he might bear witness of the light.

⁹ There was the true light, `even the light' which lighteth every man, coming into the world.

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.

¹¹ He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.

¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, `even' to them that believe on his name:

¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

¹⁵ John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.

¹¹ Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee.

³ Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you.

¹³⁰ The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple.

⁴ But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

¹² For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
