John 1:1
Douay-Rheims
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Basil of Caesarea
(Hom. in Princ. Joan. c. 3) Wherefore then Word? Because born impassibly, the Image of Him that begat, manifesting all the Father in Himself; abstracting from Him nothing, but existing perfect in Himself.
