John 1:9-14

9There was 1the true Light 2which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10He was in the world, and 3the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11He came to His 4own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 12But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become 5children of God, even 6to those who believe in His name, 13 7who were 8born, not of 9blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

14And 10the Word 11became flesh, and 12 13dwelt among us, and 14we saw His glory, glory as of 15the only begotten from the Father, full of 16grace and 17truth.
