=== Assistant: Great. ===
Great. Here's a side-by-side verse comparison of several major Bible translations for John 1:1, a foundational verse in Christian theology:

==== |     |     | ====
| --- | --- |

|     |     |

==== - NASB, ESV, KJV, NKJV, CSB: All follow a word-for-word translation, preserving the original Greek word order and theological emphasis. ====
* NIV: Slightly more interpretive but still faithful.
* NLT: Paraphrastic, prioritizing readability over strict literalism. “Already existed” is an interpretive addition.
* Greek: The original emphasizes both eternity ("Ἐν ἀρχῇ" = "In the beginning") and divine identity ("Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος").

Would you like a comparison of another verse—perhaps one with more variation between translations, like Romans 3:22, Psalm 8:5, or a doctrinal passage such as John 3:16 or Isaiah 7:14?
