The three versions (same) that you post, from my understanding are the correct ones, which match another version I posted to you.
The reason I posted the one I did, because you posted an English version with the Greek (giving the impression it was word for word of your Greek), for your numbers message, which then becomes misleading, as the English translation was up ship creek without a paddle LOL.
So the question that I raised to you, was WHY were ALL those English translations (many) that you posted NOT, as per your quotes here ?
Word order, without getting into the tech stuff, is very relevant, change it and you create another story and this is also done at 1:14.
For perhaps your interest, as lets get real, we both want TRUTH.
A few days ago, RM posted on John 1:1, try and track it down and have a peek.
He said the likes of -> if John 1:1b had the definite article which it does = "The" God, then the Word could be placed on God or God placed on the Word = they being one in the same, to which he effectively said would be heresy.
But the fact of the matter is, the definite article is there, but the said expert translators exclude it = do you see what minor twisting or leaving out words can do?
Now then as for the use of 'The God' and then just 'God' -> Theon and Theos, not sure which one represents what atm, one is used for subject case and one for object case = the SAME God = The God (Father) is being reference both times in 1:1.
BUT, if you change the word order as you showed most Bibles have in 1:1c, the message based on the above, is changed.
Now that is just a brief on the Greek lingo, as I don't have it all before me and neither am I an expert.
The logos/plan is what was to, toward, with the God and part of that he expressed from within by 1:3, alone and by himself Isa 44:24, Psa 33:6, 9 etc, etc.
Another part expressed in Luke - Yehowah to the Angel to Mary = resulting in Jesus and Jesus at least 3 times in John alone, says he come "forth" from the Father (Yehowah), = out of his mouth like Isa 55:10, 11 and was then sent into the world = After his Baptism John 17:18 for one example of what all these sending's, sent, mean.
The opening 13 verses of John are about Yehowah (Father) and his word and what it means and brings and Jesus enters the scene and picks that up and runs with it and named accordingly to represent this - The Word of God.
Hence you have the Father = The Word and the Son = The Word of God.
OR -> Word -> Image of = Word OF God.
