8. MSG The Message

   3-5 Everything was created through him;

   nothing—not one thing!—

   came into being without him.

   What came into existence was Life,

   and the Life was Light to live by.

   The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;

   the darkness couldn’t put it out.

   6-8 There once was a man, his name John, sent by God to point out the way to the Life-Light. He came to show everyone where to look, who to believe in. John was not himself the Light; he was there to show the way to the Light.

   9-13 The Life-Light was the real thing:

   Every person entering Life

   he brings into Light.

   He was in the world,

   the world was there through him,

   and yet the world didn’t even notice.

   He came to his own people,

   but they didn’t want him.

   But whoever did want him,

   who believed he was who he claimed

   and would do what he said,

   He made to be their true selves,

   their child-of-God selves.

   These are the God-begotten,

   not blood-begotten,

   not flesh-begotten,

   not sex-begotten.
