Ἰωάννης τε γινώσκων τὴν χεῖρα καὶ τὴν σοφίαν εἶναι τὸν λόγον εὐηγγελίζετο· ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος. οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν. πάντα δι’ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδέν. ὁ δὲ ἀπόστολος βλέπων τὴν χεῖρα, τὴν σοφίαν, τὸν λόγον αὐτὸν ὄντα τὸν υἱόν φησι· πολυμερῶς καὶ πολυτρόπως πάλαι ὁ θεὸς λαλήσας τοῖς πατράσιν ἐν τοῖς προφήταις ἐπ’ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν τούτων ἐλάλησεν ἡμῖν ἐν υἱῷ, ὃν ἔθηκεν κληρονόμον πάντων· δι’ οὗ καὶ ἐποίησε τοὺς αἰῶνας , καὶ πάλιν· εἷς κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, δι’ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς δι’ αὐτοῦ.
