(John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.

The Word had been existing and That Word had been existing with God and That Word was himself God.

In the beginning was the one who is called the Word. The Word was with God and was truly God.

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.

In the origin The Word had been existing and That Word had been existing with God and That Word was himself God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
