^4 (A)In Him was life, and the life was ^(B)the Light of mankind. ⁵ And ^(C)the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not ^[a]grasp it.

^7 [a]He came ^[b](A)as a witness, to testify about the Light, ^(B)so that all might believe through him.

^9 [a]This was ^(A)the true Light ^[b]that, coming into the world, enlightens every person.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that ^(A)the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for ^(B)their deeds were evil. ^20 (C)For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. ²¹ But the one who ^(D)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed ^[a]as having been performed in God.”
