The verse

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’”

John 8:12

Darkness doesn’t argue. It just waits for the light to give up.

There is one that never has - and the promise was never that you’d avoid the dark, only that you wouldn’t have to walk it blind.

Light of the world. You don’t carry it. You follow it.

Worn by those who mean it
Not a trend. A statement you stand behind.

Why does it take 2 to 3 days before it ships?

We print nothing until you ask for it. Those 2 to 3 working days are the print, and they are the reason there is no crate of last season's belief waiting to be discounted.

Full answer on the FAQ page

It doesn't fit. What happens now?

Consumers in the EU, the EEA and the United Kingdom have 14 days from receiving the order to withdraw, then order the right size. There is no exchange, because there is no shelf to swap from, so Find My Size on this page runs the arithmetic against the real measurement chart before you buy.

Returns and right of withdrawal

Will the print crack or fade in the wash?

Wash it cold or at 30°C, inside out, and hang it dry. No tumble dryer, and never iron on the print. The dryer kills a print faster than the wash does, so skip it and the print outlives the season that made you want it.

Full answer on the FAQ page

When is it at my door?

Europe and the UK, 6 to 10 working days in most countries; the US, Canada and Australia, 7 to 12; the rest of the world, 10 to 30. Some countries are faster or slower, and the shipping page shows your country. Production runs 2 to 3 working days on top of that, and customs, weather and public holidays move the estimate.

Shipping times by country

Who pays if I send it back?

Return postage is yours, and a faulty or wrong item is on us. We print one piece for one person and have no shelf to collect for. In the EU, the EEA and the UK, tell us at info@thwrd.com within 14 days of receiving it, and we refund within 14 days of that, including the standard outbound shipping you paid.

What does the Light of the World shirt say?

It reads LIGHT OF THE WORLD with John 8:12: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Wear it in black or white, as a front print or a back print edition with a small crown on the chest.

What does John 8:12 mean?

Jesus says He is the light of the world, and whoever follows Him will not walk in darkness. The promise is not that you avoid the dark. It is that you do not have to walk it blind.

What is the difference between Light of the World and The Light of Life?

Both tees carry John 8:12. This one prints “Light of the World”, the claim Jesus makes. The Light of Life prints the promise at the end of the verse. Same fabric, fit and editions.

How heavy is the Light of the World tee?

240 gsm combed cotton, reactive-dyed and pre-shrunk. Heavyweight starts around 200 gsm, so this tee has body and hangs straight, where a 140 to 180 gsm basic tee clings. The fabric guide has the full chart.

Is the Light of the World t-shirt oversized?

Yes. It is an oversized drop-shoulder fit and true to size, S to XL. Laid flat, L is 63 cm (24.8 in) at the chest and 79 cm (31.1 in) long. Between sizes, slim builds go down and broad builds go up. He is 6'0 in L.

What is the difference between the front print and the back print edition?

Front print carries the verse on the chest. Back print edition moves it to the back and leaves a small crown on the chest.

What is The Word?

The Word is a faith-rooted streetwear brand from Denmark. Heavyweight combed cotton, declarative typography, words drawn from scripture. The garment is the medium, never the meaning. It states what you serve without asking anything of the person reading it.

What sizes does The Word offer?

The Word offers sizes S through 2XL on most pieces. We use 240–260 g/m² premium combed cotton with an oversized fit. Use our Find My Size tool on each product page for guidance.

Do you offer bundles or discounts?

Yes. Pair any tee or hoodie with our Heavyweight Sweatpants and the bundle discount applies automatically at checkout. No code needed.

Where is The Word based?

The Word is based in Denmark and ships worldwide. It was founded by Thomas Finn and Krisztina Maria, a family brand built in one of the most secular corners of Europe.
