John 1:1
John 1:1 is the first verse in the opening chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The traditional and majority translation of this verse reads:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Other translations have been made or considered.
"The Word", a translation of the Greek λόγος (logos), is widely interpreted as referring to Jesus, as indicated in other verses later in the same chapter, for example, "the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us" (John 1:14; cf. 1:15, 17).
This text was composed sometime between 70-110AD.
Tertullian, in the early third century, used this verse in developing his views on the Trinity, although he noted that the majority of the believers in his day found issue with his doctrine. He wrote:
Now if this one [the Word] is God according to John ("the Word was God"), then you have two: one who speaks that it may be, and another who carries it out. However, how you should accept this as "another" I have explained: as concerning person, not substance, and as distinction, not division.
In the same text, he uses Psalm 45:6:
