hello, Lee
i think if you check a few other translations, you will get a clearer picture of what John is telling us.
John's subject since verse one has been our Lord Jesus. John begins speaking of Him as the Word, and then switches to speaking of Him as the Light. here's v 9--
The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. (ESV)
The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world. (BSB)
There was the true light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. (NAS)
i'm belaboring this because i wondered if the wording of the KJV caused you to think the phrase "cometh into the world" referred to all us puny humans? i believe it's Christ's coming into the world being spoken of. John hasn't changed the very important subject of Jesus.
