The heavens were made by the word of Jehovah, and by the breath of his mouth their entire host.

Jehovah created me in the beginning of his way, before his works of antiquity. I was made from long ago, before the earth began. read more. When there were no depths or fountains abounding with water, I was brought forth. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills I was brought forth: He had not made the earth or the fields or the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there. When he circled the face of the deep: When he established the clouds above, when he strengthened the fountains of the deep, When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his command, when he appointed the foundations of the earth, Then I was beside him, as a master workman with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him. I rejoiced in the inhabited earth. My delights were with the sons of men.

so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand, the evil one takes away that which was sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside. Anyone sown among the rocky places hears the word and immediately with joy receives it. read more. There is no root in him. He endures for a while. When he has tribulation or persecution because of the word, he falls away. He that was sown among thorns hears the word. The cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. He that was sown upon the good ground hears the word, and understands it. He bears fruit, producing sometimes a hundredfold, sometimes sixty, and sometimes thirty.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was like God (God-like).

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was like God (God-like).

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was like God (God-like).

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was like God (God-like). The same was in the beginning with God. read more. All things were made through him and without him not one thing was made.

All things were made through him and without him not one thing was made.

All things were made through him and without him not one thing was made. He lived and his life gives light to all people.

He lived and his life gives light to all people.

He lived and his life gives light to all people.

He lived and his life gives light to all people. His light shines through darkness and it cannot be extinguished.

His light shines through darkness and it cannot be extinguished. God sent a man named John. (Malachi 3:1) read more. He came to tell (witness) (testify) about the light and help people have faith. Not being the light he came to give a witness of it. The true light, which gives light to every man, came into the world. (Isaiah 49:6)

The true light, which gives light to every man, came into the world. (Isaiah 49:6) The world was made through him. He was in the world and the world did not recognize him.

The world was made through him. He was in the world and the world did not recognize him.

The world was made through him. He was in the world and the world did not recognize him. He came to his own. They did not receive him! read more. He gave the right to become children of God to all who received him. Even to those who believe in his name. They were born from God. It was not from blood, or the will of the flesh, or the will of man. The Word [Jesus] became flesh (a human being) and lived with us. We saw the glory of the only begotten son from the Father. He was full of loving-kindness and truth. John spoke about him and declared: He is the one I said would come after me. He is greater than I am because he lived before me. Out of the fullness of his undeserved kindness he gives us one blessing after another. The law came through Moses. Loving-kindness and truth came through Jesus Christ. No man has ever seen God. The only begotten God-like one who is closest to the Father (in the bosom of the Father) tells us about him. (Psalm 8:5)

No man has ever seen God. The only begotten God-like one who is closest to the Father (in the bosom of the Father) tells us about him. (Psalm 8:5)

No one has ever ascended into heaven but the Son of man who descended from heaven. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of man must also be lifted up. read more. Everyone who has an active faith in him may have everlasting life. For God loved the world so much, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever has an active faith in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world. Instead the world should be saved through him. He who has an active faith in him is not judged. He who does not have an active faith has been judged already for he has not had faith in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world. People loved the darkness rather than the light for their works were evil. Every one who does evil hates the light. He does not come to the light because his works would be reproved. He who practices the truth comes to the light. His works are made known that they are from God.

Jesus responded to them: Truly I tell you if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you will not have life in yourselves. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life! I will raise him up at the last day. read more. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides with me, and I with him. The living Father sent me and I live because of the Father. He who takes me for his food will live because of me. This is the bread that came down out of heaven. It is not like the bread (manna) the fathers ate and then died. He who eats this bread will live forever.

Jesus shouted in the temple: You know me and from where I came. I did not come on my own. He who sent me is true and you do not know him. I know him because I am from him and he sent me.

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world. He that follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.

Jesus answered them: Even if I bear witness about myself, my testimony is true! I know where I came from and I know where I am going. You do not know where I came from or where I am going.

Yes and if I judge my judgment is true. I am not alone for I am with the Father who sent me.

My Father has given them to me. He is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

Jesus cried out: He, who believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me. He that sees me sees (perceives) (discerns) (experiences) the one who sent me. read more. I have come as a light to the world. Everyone who believes in me will not remain in darkness. If any man hears my sayings and does not obey them I will not judge him. I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me and does not accept my message has one that judges him. The word (divine expression) (God's Word) that I spoke shall judge him now and in the last day. (Deuteronomy 18:19) I spoke not from myself but from the Father who sent me. He has given me a commandment concerning what I should say when I speak. I know that his commandment means everlasting life. Therefore I say the things the Father tells me to say.

Jesus proclaimed: I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have perceived my Father also. From now on you understand him and have experienced him. read more. Philip said: Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us. Jesus responded: Have I been with you so long a time and you do not know me Philip? He who has seen me has discerned (experienced) (perceived) the Father. And you say, show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am with the Father and that the Father is with me? The words I say to you are not from me, but the Father dwells with me and does his works. Believe me that I am with the Father and the Father is with me, or else believe me because of the works.

And now, Father, glorify me with you, the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

I gave them the words that you gave me. They understood them and knew I came from you. They believed you sent me.

Father, I desire that these whom you gave me may be with me where I am. I want them to see the glory you have given me. For you loved me before the creation of the world.

These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. By believing you may have life in his name.

Most of the brothers trust in the Lord and boldly speak the word of God without fear because of my bonds.

Have this attitude (mind-set) (understanding) (mental state) in you that was also in Christ Jesus. He existed in the form (shape and nature) of God but did not try to be equal with God. He did not even consider it! read more. He emptied (humbled) himself by taking the form of a servant. He was made in the likeness of men. He obtained the appearance as a man, humbled himself, and became obedient even to death, yes, death on the stake. For this reason God highly exalted him, and gave to him the name that is above every name, (Relative authority given by Jehovah God, the Father to His Son) (Philipians 2:11) that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

He rescued us from the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love (the Son he dearly loves). We have in him our redemption and the forgiveness of our sins. read more. He is the image (likeness) (representation) of the invisible God. He is the firstborn (Greek: prototokos: childbirth, offspring) of all creation. All things in the heavens and upon the earth where created through him. The things visible and invisible were created through him. Whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and through him all things originate. He is the head of the body, the congregation. He is the beginning (commencement), the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence (first place). It was the good pleasure of the Father that in him all the fullness should dwell. And all things are reconciled through him. He made peace through the blood of his atonement (of the stake). He reconciles all things, whether things upon the earth, or things in heaven.

The fullness of divine nature lives in Christ's bodily form. (Greek: theotes: essence and nature of God) (Only the Son of God could have divine attributes, the inherited qualities from the Father)

Long ago on many occasions and in many ways God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. He has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, through whom he made the ages (Greek: aion: ages of time, perpetuity, worlds, generations, human entities). read more. God's Son is the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his being. He sustains all things by his powerful word. After Jesus purged our sins, he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. He has become better than the angels and has inherited a more excellent name than theirs.

We have heard that which was from the beginning. We have also seen it with our own eyes. We looked at it and touched it with our hands. It is the Word of life.

There are three that testify: (Latin Vulgate: tres testimonium: three that testify.)

He was clothed with a garment dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
