John 1:12-18

12but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of 1God, to those that believe on his name;

13who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of 2God.

14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;

15(John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me;)

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

17For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.

18No one has seen 3God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
