1 태초에 말씀이 계시니라 이 말씀이 하나님과 함께 계셨으니 이 말씀은 곧 하나님이시니라

2 그가 태초에 하나님과 함께 계셨고

3 만물이 그로 말미암아 지은 바 되었으니 지은 것이 하나도 그가 없이는 된 것이 없느니라

4 그 안에 생명이 있었으니 이 생명은 사람들의 빛이라

5 빛이 어둠에 비치되 어둠이 깨닫지 못하더라

(요1:1-5)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 He was with God in the beginning.

3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

(Jn 1:1-5, NIV)
