1\\xa0In the beginning was the Word,\\xa0and the Word was with God,\\xa0and the Word was God.\\xa02\\xa0He was with God in the beginning.\\xa03\\xa0Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.\\xa04\\xa0In him was life,\\xa0and that life was the light\\xa0of all mankind.

14\\xa0The Word became flesh\\xa0and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,\\xa0the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace\\xa0and truth.

6\\xa0Who, being in very nature[a]\\xa0God,
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0did not consider equality with God\\xa0something to be used to his own advantage;
7\\xa0rather, he made himself nothing
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0by taking the very nature[b]\\xa0of a servant,
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0being made in human likeness.
8\\xa0And being found in appearance as a man,
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0he humbled himself

15\\xa0The Son is the image\\xa0of the invisible God,\\xa0the firstborn\\xa0over all creation.\\xa016\\xa0For in him all things were created:\\xa0things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;\\xa0all things have been created through him and for him.\\xa017\\xa0He is before all things,\\xa0and in him all things hold together.\\xa018\\xa0And he is the head\\xa0of the body, the church;\\xa0he is the beginning and the firstborn\\xa0from among the dead,\\xa0so that in everything he might have the supremacy.\\xa019\\xa0For God was pleased\\xa0to have all his fullness\\xa0dwell in him,\\xa020\\xa0and through him to reconcile\\xa0to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven,\\xa0by making peace\\xa0through his blood,\\xa0shed on the cross.
