7This man came into witnessing, that he should bear witnessing of the light, that all men should believe by him. (This man came as a witness, that he would testify about the light, so that all men could believe through him.)
8He was not that light, but that he should bear witnessing of the light. (He was not that light, but he testified about the light.)
9There was a very light (or There was a true light), which (en)lighteneth each man that cometh into this world.
10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11He came into his own things, and his (own) received him not.
