The world did not recognize him

世はこの方を知らなかった

この方はもとから世におられ、世はこの方によって造られたのに、
世はこの方を知らなかった。
この方はご自分のくにに来られたのに、
ご自分の民は受け入れなかった。
～ヨハネ　１:１０、１１～

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him,
the world did not recognize him.
He came to that which was his own,
but his own did not receive him.
~ John 1:10,11 ~
