John 1:1-17 (NKJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ ”
16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

La Palabra Eterna Se Convirtió En Carne
Juan 1:1-17 (NVI)
1 En el principio ya existía el Verbo, y el Verbo estaba con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios.
2 Él estaba con Dios en el principio.
3 Por medio de él todas las cosas fueron creadas; sin él, nada de lo creado llegó a existir.
4 En él estaba la vida, y la vida era la luz de la humanidad.
5 Esta luz resplandece en las tinieblas, y las tinieblas no han podido extinguirla.
6 Vino un hombre llamado Juan. Dios lo envió 7como testigo para dar testimonio de la luz, a fin de que por medio de él todos creyeran.
8 Juan no era la luz, sino que vino para dar testimonio de la luz.
9 Esa luz verdadera, la que alumbra a todo ser humano, venía a este mundo.
10 El que era la luz ya estaba en el mundo, y el mundo fue creado por medio de él, pero el mundo no lo reconoció.
11 Vino a lo que era suyo, pero los suyos no lo recibieron.
12 Mas a cuantos lo recibieron, a los que creen en su nombre, les dio el derecho de ser hijos de Dios.
13 Estos no nacen de la sangre, ni por deseos naturales, ni por voluntad humana, sino que nacen de Dios.
14 Y el Verbo se hizo hombre y habitó entre nosotros. Y hemos contemplado su gloria, la gloria que corresponde al Hijo unigénito del Padre, lleno de gracia y de verdad.
15 Juan dio testimonio de él, y a voz en grito proclamó: «Este es aquel de quien yo decía: “El que viene después de mí es superior a mí, porque existía antes que yo”».
16 De su plenitud todos hemos recibido gracia sobre gracia,
17 pues la ley fue dada por medio de Moisés, mientras que la gracia y la verdad nos han llegado por medio de Jesucristo.
A Declaration of Faith
Psalms 27:1-8 (NKJV)
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”

Una Declaración de Fe
Salmos 27:1-8 (NVI)
1 El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación;
¿a quién temeré?
El Señor es el baluarte de mi vida;
¿quién podrá amedrentarme?
2 Cuando los malvados avanzan contra mí
para devorar mis carnes,
cuando mis enemigos y adversarios me atacan,
son ellos los que tropiezan y caen.
3 Aun cuando un ejército me asedie,
no temerá mi corazón;
aun cuando una guerra estalle contra mí,
yo mantendré la confianza.
4 Una sola cosa le pido al Señor,
y es lo único que persigo:
habitar en la casa del Señor
todos los días de mi vida,
para contemplar la hermosura del Señor
y recrearme en su templo.
5 Porque en el día de la aflicción
él me resguardará en su morada;
al amparo de su tienda me protegerá,
y me pondrá en alto, sobre una roca.
6 Me hará prevalecer
frente a los enemigos que me rodean;
en su templo ofreceré sacrificios de alabanza
y cantaré salmos al Señor.
7 Oye, Señor, mi voz cuando a ti clamo;
compadécete de mí y respóndeme.
8 El corazón me dice: «¡Busca su rostro!»
Y yo, Señor, tu rostro busco.

The Lord Helps His Troubled People
Psalms 3:1-8 (NKJV)
1 Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” -Selah
3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head.
4 I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. -Selah
5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.
7 Arise, O Lord; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people.
Dios Ayuda A Su Gente Problemática
Salmos 3:1-8 (NVI)
1 Muchos son, Señor, mis enemigos; muchos son los que se oponen a mí,
2 y muchos los que de mí aseguran: «Dios no lo salvará». -Selah
3 Pero tú, Señor, me rodeas cual escudo; tú eres mi gloria; ¡tú mantienes en alto mi cabeza!
4 Clamo al Señor a gritos, y desde su monte santo él me responde. -Selah
5 Yo me acuesto, me duermo y vuelvo a despertar, porque el Señor me sostiene.
6 No me asustan los numerosos pueblos que me acosan por doquier.
7 ¡Levántate, Señor! ¡Ponme a salvo, Dios mío! ¡Rómpeles la quijada a mis enemigos! ¡Rómpeles los dientes a los malvados!
8 Tuya es, Señor, la salvación; ¡envía tu bendición sobre tu pueblo!
