John 1:5, BEV (Baldon Expanded Version)

The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not comprehend it. Those lost in Eternal Night still cling to their false dreams of what this world looks like at dawn, exchanging the bright Truth of Creation for a lie of their own making. And yet the Light reveals Truth, and those who choose to remain in darkness must cringe before it... for the Light burns, it purifies, it refines.

We have been called out of this world's darkness, our hearts warmed by the Flame that is the Christ. We have been chosen, and given purpose! Rise up, O Servants of the Great Light. Blaze, as the Beacons of Hope that you have become!

Lord, let our lights so shine before men, as to reflect the glory of the Light that dwells within us! May the Light ever increase, drawing all men unto Itself. Amen.

  1. I like the new version. :-) Maybe we can make some money selling it to some publishing company.
    A good verse, no matter what version it is!

  2. It sheds a different light on the verse (get the pun).
    Anyway, after reading it in usually the same KJV, this shows other unthought-of facets.
    thanks!
