In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men.

A fountain of life was in him, for his life is light for all humanity.

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.

In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

In him there was life, and that life was the light of all people.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

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

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
