The same
(ουτος). "This one," the Logos of verse John 1:1, repeated for clarity, characteristic of John's style. He links together into one phrase two of the ideas already stated separately, "in the beginning he was with God," "afterwards in time he came to be with man" (Marcus Dods). Thus John clearly states of the Logos Pre-existence before Incarnation, Personality, Deity.
THE SAME - The Word, or the λόγος Logos. WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD - This seems to be a repetition of what was said in the first verse; but it is stated over again to “guard the doctrine,” and to...
