John 1:12-17

12But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

15John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.

16For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.

17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
