::::: John didn't use quotation marks. Do you oppose a modern translation using quotation marks in the [[Gospel of John]]?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 12:59, 22 September 2012 (EDT)

This situation isn't like the use of quotation marks at all. The Greeks certainly had the word "us", and it was in fact used by John as August has pointed out. But John didn't use "us", he used κόσμον, or Kosmos, which is so remarkably similar to our modern word "cosmos" that there should be no confusion over the fact that it doesn't mean "us".
