#John 1:5 is an immensely powerful verse, but diluted in most translations with a past tense and weak negative "did not overcome": "That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it,"<ref>This quotation is from the [[HCSB]]. The Greek uses the Aorist Indicative Active (simple past tense - literally, "not overcame"), despite using the Present Indicative Active for "shines". https://biblehub.com/john/1-5.htm#lexicon</ref> When a stronger rendition would be "That light shines in the darkness, and the darkness succumbed to it." This wonderful verse also facilitates a greater appreciation of the interplay between physical light and darkness.
