1 ^(A)In the beginning was ^(B)the Word, and the Word was ^(C)with God, and ^(D)the Word was God. ^2 [a]He was in the beginning with God. ^3 (E)All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him ^[b]not even one thing came into being that has come into being. ^4 (F)In Him was life, and the life was ^(G)the Light of mankind.

¹³ He is clothed with a ^(A)robe dipped in blood, and His name is called ^(B)The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in ^(C)fine linen, ^(D)white and clean, were following Him on white horses. ^15 (E)From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that ^(F)with it He may strike down the nations, and He will ^[a](G)rule them with a rod of iron; and ^(H)He treads the ^[b]wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. ¹⁶ And on His robe and on His thigh He has ^(I)a name written: “^(J)KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
