John 1:15-18

15John 1testified about Him and called out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘2He who is coming after me has proved to be 3my superior, 4because 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; 13God the only Son, who is 14in the 15arms of the Father, 16He has 17explained Him.
