6 There was a man [anthropos] sent from God [Theos], whose name was John [Ioannes].
7 The same came for a witness [martyria: testify, martyr, עד od], to bear witness [martyria: testify, martyr, עד od] for the Light [phos, אור aur], that all men through him might believe [pistis: powerful or persuasive comprehension, faith upon experience].
8 He was not that Light [phos, אור aur], but was sent to bear witness [martyria: testify, martyr, עד od] of that Light [phos, אור aur].
9 That was the true Light [phos, אור aur], which lighteth every man that cometh into the world [kosmos].
