I meant 3&4 and yes they are referring to the Logos
Joh 1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
The Noun Logos is masculine. The Pronouns in vs 2 is masculine. The Pronouns in vs 3 and 4 are also masculine
This "He" is "in Him was life and the Light of men"
That Light, John says was in the world
Joh 1:8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
Joh 1:9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.
Nobody that knows grammar, English or Greek would agree with you that verse 3 and 4 are not about the Logos
The reason Logos is not used is because we have pronouns. In Grammar Pronouns take the place of Nouns. So instead of saying "Logos Logos Logos, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, God, God, God, Peter, Peter Peter" over and over, in both English and Greek we replace nouns with pronouns.
That is basis grammar
