I'm in a Bible study group at work (all denominations are welcome.) We're studying John in the New Testament. One of the women picked up some contemporary language. It's pretty interesting. Here is what it says (The name of book of John is The Life-Light):
The Word was first
The Word present to God
God present to the Word
The Word was God
in readiness for God from day one.

There once was a man, his name John, sent by God to point out the way to the Life-Light. He came to show everyone where to look, who to believe in. John was not himself the Light; he was there to show the way to the Light.

The Word became flesh and blood,
and moved into the neighborhood
