In the Beginning Was the Word
John 1:1–5 · 和合本 · chinese-bible.com
1太初有道，道与 神同在，道就是 神。
tài chū yǒu dào ， dào yǔ shén tóng zài ， dào jiù shì shén 。
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2这道太初与 神同在。
zhè dào tài chū yǔ shén tóng zài 。
The same was in the beginning with God.
3万物是借着他造的；凡被造的，没有一样不是借着他造的。
wàn wù shì jiè zhe tā zào de ； fán bèi zào de ， méi yǒu yí yàng bú shì jiè zhe tā zào de 。
All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
4生命在他里头，这生命就是人的光。
shēng mìng zài tā lǐ tou ， zhè shēng mìng jiù shì rén de guāng 。
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5光照在黑暗里，黑暗却不接受光。
guāng zhào zài hēi àn lǐ ， hēi àn què bù jiē shòu guāng 。
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
