1 ^aIn the beginning was ^bthe Word, and ^cthe Word was with God, and ^dthe Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 ^eAll things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 ^fIn him was life,¹ and ^gthe life was the light of men.

31 ^vThe Jews picked up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but ^wfor blasphemy, because you, being a man, ^xmake yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in ^yyour Law, ^z‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be ^abroken— 36 do you say of him whom ^bthe Father consecrated and ^csent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because ^dI said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

3 concerning his Son, ^fwho was descended from David^{1 g}according to the flesh 4 and ^hwas declared to be the Son of God ⁱin power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

5 To them belong ^lthe patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, ^mwho is God over all, ⁿblessed forever. Amen.

15 ⁱHe is the image of ^jthe invisible God, ^kthe firstborn of all creation. 16 For by¹ him all things were created, ^lin heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether ^mthrones or ⁿdominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created ^othrough him and for him. 17 And ^phe is before all things, and in him all things ^qhold together.

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and ^rhas given us understanding, so that we may know ^shim who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and ^teternal life.
