-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it.

: But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
