John 1:15-18

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