-	This scripture has been perverted by the cult of the [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] who render part of John 1:1 as "...''and the word was a god''" The [[New World Translation]] (NWT) translates the first ‘[[2316|θεος]]’ in John 1:1 as ‘God’, and the second ‘[[2316|θεος]]’ as ‘a god’. In the Greek, there is a definite article ‘the’ (‘ό ’) before the first occurrence of God (ό ‘[[2316|θεος]]’ = the God). However, there is no definite article ‘the’ before the second occurrence of ‘God’. The Jehovah's Witnesses falsly claim that, when a noun has a definite article (like ‘ό [[2316|θεος]]’), it points to an identity or personality, such as the person of Jehovah God. Also that the same phrase (‘ό [[2316|θεος]]’) is never used of Jesus Christ in the NT (Watchtower, 1 July 86, p31). (Note: ‘ό θεος’ is used of Christ in Matthew 1:23, John 20:28 and Hebrews 1:8). Also that when a singular predicate noun has no definite article, and it occurs before a verb (as theos in John 1:1c), then it points to a quality about someone, so that here it says that Jesus (the Word) has a divine quality, but is not God Almighty ([[Kingdom Interlinear Translation|KIT]], p.1139).	+	{{King James Version Pure Cambridge Edition Footer}}

-	The Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus is ‘a god’, i.e. not the God ([[Jehovah]]), but rather Michael the Archangel. To support this false doctrine by redering John 1:1 as ‘a god’, they quote: [[Johannes Greber]] New Testament (1937), a spiritist who claimed that spirits helped him translate the [[New Testament]] (Watchtower, 15 September 62, p.554; 15 October 73, p.640). The Jehovah's Witnesses knew he was a spiritist in 1956 (Watchtower, 15 February 1956, p 110, 111), yet they still quoted him.	+	{{King James Version 2016 Edition}}
-	Another source was Dr Julius Mantey, who refutes their translation saying: ''‘They have forgotten entirely what the (word) order of the sentence indicates that the “ λογος” (“logos” or “Word” in English) has the same substance, nature or essence as the Father. To indicate that Jesus was “a god” would need a completely different construction in the Greek. They misquoted me in support of their translation. 99% of Greek scholars and Bible translators in the world disagree with JWs.’''	+	==Interlinear==

		+	The phrase "[[3588|the]] [[3056|Word]]" (a translation of the [[Greek]] word "[[3056|Logos]]") refers to [[Jesus]] Christ, as indicated in other verses later in the same chapter ([[John 1:14]]). This verse set the stage for later developments in [[Trinitarianism|Trinitarian]] theology and [[Christology]]. It clearly demonstrates that the Son has eternal pre-existence with the Father.
		+
		+	Of the [[Gospels]], [[St. John the Apostle|John]] has the highest [[Christology]]. Here [[Jesus]] is the only begotten Son of God, the Way, the Truth, the Life, the True Vine, etc. In [[John 1:1|1:1]], [[St. John the Apostle|John]] identifies [[Jesus]] as the [[Logos]], that source which made the existence of the created world possible.
		+
		+	Gordon Clark a [[Calvinism|Calvinist]] theologian and expert on pre-Socratic philosophy, famously translated [[Logos]] as "Logic": "In the beginning was the Logic, and the Logic was with God and the Logic was God." He meant to imply by this translation that the laws of logic were contained in the Bible itself and were therefore not a secular principle imposed on the Christian worldview.
		+
		+	Following [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] translations of the 18th Century, today most Chinese Bible translations use the word "Tao" in [[John 1:1]] to translate "Logos", following the use as "Idea" in Taoism.
		+
		+	In unitarian Christology there are other interpretations of John 1:1. In the commentaries on John ch.1 by Lelio Sozzini (Zurich, c.[[1559 AD|1559]]) and his nephew Fausto Sozzini (Lyons, c.[[1562 AD|1562]]) the "word" being "made flesh" is taken as a reference to the virgin birth, and not to the personal pre-existence of Christ. The passages in the New Testament referring to the Logos were explained by Fausto Sozzini as relating to the foreknown work of Christ as the author of the new creation, not as relating to the "old" Genesis creation. Fausto Sozzini aimed to "completely de-Platonize" the reading of John 1:1-[[John 1:15|15]].

-	Every Greek scholar in the world is against the NWT translation of John 1:1 ‘the word	+	==Patristic quotes==
-	was a god’. Examples include: <br>	+
-	'''M.R.Vincent''': ‘The λογος (logos) of John is the real personal God’.(Word Studies in Gk N,T, p.383)	+
-	<br>'''K.Wuest''': ‘The Word was as to His essence absolute deity’.(Word Studies in Gk.NT p 209)	+
-	<br>'''A.T.Robertson''': ‘the Word was God, of Divine nature; not “a god”.’(Expositors Gk Testment, p.684)	+
-	<br>'''Spiros Zodhiates''': ‘In John 1:1, Jesus Christ in His pre-incarnate state is called the	+
-	Word, presenting as the second person of the Godhead.’ (NT Word Study Dictionary, p 935)	+
-	<br>'''W.E.Vine''': ‘the λογος (logos), the Word, the personal manifestation, not of a part of the divine nature, but of the whole deity.’ (Complete Expository Dictionary of NT Words, p683)	+
-	JWs claim that, because the second ‘θεος’ (theos) has no definite article, we should	+	Christian apologist Justin Martyr (c 150) identified Jesus as the Logos:
-	translate it as ‘a god’. ([[Kingdom Interlinear Translation|KIT]], p 1139). Yet the NWT used ‘θεος’ with no article as ‘God’ four times in John 1:6, 12, 13, 18	+
-	If the NWT was consistent, they should translate ‘θεος’ as ‘a god’ in these cases too:<br>	+	::''I shall give you another testimony, my friends, from the Scriptures, that God begot before all creatures a Beginning, [who was] a certain rational power [proceeding] from Himself, who is called by the Holy Spirit, now the Glory of the Lord, now the Son, again Wisdom, again an Angel, then God, and then Lord and Logos;'' (Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho, Chapter 61.)
-	v. 6 ‘There was a man sent from a god.’	+
-	<br>v.12 ‘to them gave he power to become the children of a god.’	+
-	<br>v.13 ‘nor of the will of man, but of a god.’	+
-	<br>v.18 ‘no man hath seen a god at any time.’	+
-	<br>This is clearly wrong and ridiculous. Why only in verse one do they refuse to translate	+
-	‘θεος’ as ‘God’? Because they don’t want Christ to be Jehovah God. The Watchtower’s	+
-	mistranslation of John 1:1 is not supported by any Greek grammar textbook.	+
-	Many other verses have ‘θεος’ + no article, and yet are correctly translated as ‘God’, such as Matthew 5:9; 6:24; Luke 1:35, 78; 2:40; John 3:2, 21; 9:16, 33; I Corinthians 1:30; 15:10; Philippians 2:11,13; Titus 1:1; Romans 1:17, 18.	+	[[Image:Johannesevangelium_%28Papyrus_66%29.jpg|center|thumb|750px|The famous "Prologue" or John's "Hymn to Logos" in the findings dating back to 200, also known as Papyrus 66 Papyrus Bodmer II currently stored at Geneva ]]
-	JWs say that by translating ‘θεος’ as ‘a god’, then Christ is a lesser god, a divine person. If John had intended this adjectival sense (ie ‘the Word was divine’), he had an adjective θειος (theios=godlike2304) available to use as found in II Peter 1:3, 4 (‘divine power’ and ‘divine nature’), if Christ was just a divine lesser god.	+	==Commentaries==
-	Instead, John uses ‘θεος’ meaning ‘God’.	+	[[Image:Codex_Bezae_0202a.JPG|thumb|280px|John 1 from Codex Bezae]]

		+	* [[John 1:1 Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary|Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary]]
-	Spiros Zodhiates, in his book Was Christ God? ( p.102), states assertively:	+	==See Also==
-	''‘It would, therefore, be totally wrong to translate the statement that John makes in	+
-	John 1:1 as “the Word was divine”. The word which is used in the original Greek is	+
-	θεος (theos) “God”, not θειος (theios) “divine”. Jesus Christ did not merely have divine attributes, but He was God in His essence and nature. He was not a man who attained divinity, but God who humbled Himself to take upon Himself human nature in addition to His deity.’''	+
-	Contrary to the Watchtower claim, ‘θεος’ (God) with the definite article (‘ό’) is used of Jesus Christ in the New Testament:	+	* [[John 1:1 (NWT)]] John 1:1 in the [[New World Translation]] of the [[Jehovah's Witnesses]]
-	i) John 20:28.	+	* [[Jesus Christ the Logos]]
-	ii) Matthew 1:23.	+
-	iii) Hebrews 1:8.	+
-	Hence, the same word ‘ό θεος’ (ho theos) used of the Father is also used of Christ.	+
-	JWs say that Jesus is ‘a god’. Jehovah disagrees with them in Isaiah 44:8 by saying:	+	[[Category:Christology]]
-	‘Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.’ (KJV and NWT).	+	[[Category:Jesus]]
-	Jehovah says that there is no ‘a God’ beside Him. This shows John 1:1 in the NWT to be	+	[[Category:Johannine literature]]
-	wrong. Hence, Jesus cannot be ‘a God’, so He must be ‘the God’.	+
-	Ancient Uncial Greek manuscripts were all written in capital letters, so one could not	+	==External Links==
-	distinguish between ‘God’ and ‘god’, except by the context, and whether the writer	+
-	believed in one true God or in more than one god. JWs say that Jesus is ‘a god’ with Jehovah, as seen from ‘the Word was with God.’ They say that if Christ is ‘with’ God, He cannot be God. ‘with’ (Greek ‘ προς’) means that Christ was so intimately connected with God, that He is God. ‘There are no gods together with me’. (Deuteronomy 32:39 NWT)	+
-	‘There is no god with me.’ (Deuteronomy 32:39 KJV) Hence, Jehovah says that there are no gods with Jehovah, so Christ must be Jehovah God.	+
-	Church Writers writing before 325 AD all agree that John 1:1 is ‘the Word was God’,	+	[[Category:New Testament verses]]
-	and that it means that Jesus is fully God and man. This verse was never disputed before the occultist Greber’s NT was published in 1937. 12 Church notable writers before 325 AD who all quote John 1:1 correctly as ‘the Word was God’, none of them quote it as ‘a god’?	+	[[Category:Perspectives on Jesus]]
		+	[[Category:Christology]]
-	The Kingdom Interlinear Translation (KIT, p.401) quote of John 1:1, in the left hand column has ‘god was the Word’, which contradicts the right hand column NWT translation which says ‘the word was a god’. Hence the Word (Christ who became flesh, v.14) is called ‘God’ on the LHS of the page, and ‘a god’ on the RHS of the page.	+	{{Donate}}

Commentary

The phrase "the Word" (a translation of the Greek word "Logos") refers to Jesus Christ, as indicated in other verses later in the same chapter (John 1:14). This verse set the stage for later developments in Trinitarian theology and Christology. It clearly demonstrates that the Son has eternal pre-existence with the Father.

Of the Gospels, John has the highest Christology. Here Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, the Way, the Truth, the Life, the True Vine, etc. In 1:1, John identifies Jesus as the Logos, that source which made the existence of the created world possible.

Gordon Clark a Calvinist theologian and expert on pre-Socratic philosophy, famously translated Logos as "Logic": "In the beginning was the Logic, and the Logic was with God and the Logic was God." He meant to imply by this translation that the laws of logic were contained in the Bible itself and were therefore not a secular principle imposed on the Christian worldview.

Following Jesuit translations of the 18th Century, today most Chinese Bible translations use the word "Tao" in John 1:1 to translate "Logos", following the use as "Idea" in Taoism.

In unitarian Christology there are other interpretations of John 1:1. In the commentaries on John ch.1 by Lelio Sozzini (Zurich, c.1559) and his nephew Fausto Sozzini (Lyons, c.1562) the "word" being "made flesh" is taken as a reference to the virgin birth, and not to the personal pre-existence of Christ. The passages in the New Testament referring to the Logos were explained by Fausto Sozzini as relating to the foreknown work of Christ as the author of the new creation, not as relating to the "old" Genesis creation. Fausto Sozzini aimed to "completely de-Platonize" the reading of John 1:1-15.

Patristic quotes

Christian apologist Justin Martyr (c 150) identified Jesus as the Logos:

I shall give you another testimony, my friends, from the Scriptures, that God begot before all creatures a Beginning, [who was] a certain rational power [proceeding] from Himself, who is called by the Holy Spirit, now the Glory of the Lord, now the Son, again Wisdom, again an Angel, then God, and then Lord and Logos; (Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho, Chapter 61.)
