>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

[John 1:1-5](http://blb.org/kjv/jhn/1/1-5/), KJV

>Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

[John 14:6](http://blb.org/kjv/jhn/14/6/), KJV

And, perhaps especially:

>...Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

[Philippians 2:5-11](http://blb.org/kjv/phl/2/5-11/), KJV
