Luke 1:1-4

(Greek  -- Bible Hub )

The Dedication to Theophilus

1 Many have undertaken to compile a narrative about the events that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as the original eyewitnesses and servants of the word handed them down to us. 3 It also seemed good to me, since I have carefully investigated everything from the very first, to write to you in an orderly sequence, most honorable Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things about which you have been instructed.

John 1:1-18

(Greek  -- Bible Hub )

Prologue

1 In the beginning was the Word,
   and the Word was with God,
   and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 All things were created through Him,
   and apart from Him not one thing was created
   that has been created.
4 Life was in Him,
   and that life was the light of men.
5 That light shines in the darkness,
   yet the darkness did not overcome it.


6 There was a man named John
   who was sent from God.
7 He came as a witness
   to testify about the light,
   so that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the light,
   but he came to testify about the light.
9 The true light, who gives light to everyone,
   was coming into the world.


10 He was in the world,
   and the world was created through Him,
   yet the world did not recognize Him.
11 He came to His own,
   and His own people did not receive Him.
12 But to all who did receive Him,
   He gave them the right to be children of God,
   to those who believe in His name,
13 who were born,
   not of blood,
   or of the will of the flesh,
   or of the will of man,
   but of God.


14 The Word became flesh
   and took up residence among us.
   We observed His glory,
   the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father,
   full of grace and truth.
15 (John testified concerning Him and exclaimed,
   “This was the One of whom I said,
   ‘The One coming after me has surpassed me,
   because He existed before me.’”)
16 Indeed, we have all received grace after grace
   from His fullness,
17 for the law was given through Moses,
   grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God.
   The One and Only Son—
   the One who is at the Father’s side—
   He has revealed Him.

Unlike nephesh, which is the soul.  God breathed the breath of life (zoe) and he became a living soul
