 There has been controversy in the past regarding the exact translation. The Greek text reads: {{Bible verse|john|1|1|lang=Greek}} The point of the debate is a grammatical one which has theological repercussion. The standard translation finishes with: ''And the Word was God''. Some people have translated it instead as: ''And the word was a god''.

 : As a matter of solid fact, however, such a rendering is a frightful mistranslation. It overlooks entirely an established rule of Greek grammar which necessitates the rendering "...and the Word was God."

		+
		+	John opens his account of [[Jesus]]' life on earth with the beautiful statement of the divinity of Jesus. The traditional text of the verse reads: ''{{Bible verse\|john\|1\|1\|lang=KJV}}'' The phrase "the Word" (a translation of the Greek word "[[Logos]]") refers to Jesus, as indicated in other verses later in the same chapter. This verse, as well as a number of others throughout John and elsewhere in the Bible, set the stage for developments in [[Trinity\|Trinitarian]] theology and [[Christology]].
		+
		+	The verse begins with "In the beginning" - the same expression that [[Genesis 1:1]] starts with. Jesus, the Word, is said to have existed before creation and to not only be with [[God]], but to be God.
