Bible Hub parallel translations, “John 1:1 in the parallel English versions”

19 September 2026 · Bible Hub (reproducing the named copyright translations)

“New International Version, English Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, King James Bible, New Revised Standard Version, Christian Standard Bible and New American Bible all read: “and the Word was God.” The NET Bible reads “and the Word was fully God”; Smith’s Literal Translation reads “and God was the Word.””

The parallel page for John 1:1. Of the major English versions listed there, none renders the clause 'a god'.
