John 1:14-18

14And 1the Word 2became flesh, and 3 4dwelt among us, and 5we saw His glory, glory as of 6the only begotten from the Father, full of 7grace and 8truth. 15John 9testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘10He who comes after me 11has a higher rank than I, 12for He existed before me.’” 16For of His 13fullness 14we have all received, and 15grace upon grace. 17For 16the Law was given through Moses; 17grace and 18truth 19were realized through Jesus Christ. 18 20No one has seen God at any time; 21the only begotten God who is 22in the bosom of the Father, 23He has explained Him.
