The World English Bible (WEB): John
Book 43 John 001:001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 001:002 The same was in the beginning with God. 001:003 All things were made through him.

LYSISTRATA
And what if they do?
No threat shall creak our hinges wide, no torch
Shall light a fear in us; we will come out
To Peace alone.
