John 1:7 BBE

⁵  And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.

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

⁷  He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.

⁸  He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.

⁹  The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.
