“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:1-5

“I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.  For in him you have been enriched in every way; with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge; God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you.  Therefore, you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.  He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.”  1 Corinthians 1:4-9
