12But 1asG3745 manyG3745 asG3745 receivedG2983 Him, to them He gaveG1325 the rightG1849 to becomeG1096 2childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 3to thoseG3588 who 4believeG4100 in His nameG3686, 135whoG3739 were 6bornG1080, not of 7bloodG129, norG3761 of the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 of the willG2307 of a manG435, but of GodG2316.

14And 8the WordG3056 9becameG1096 fleshG4561, and 10dweltG4637 amongG1722 us; and 11we sawG2300 His gloryG1391, gloryG1391 as of the onlyG3439 Son from the FatherG3962, fullG4134 of 12graceG5485 and 13truthG225. 15JohnG2491 14testifiedG3140 aboutG4012 Him and calledG2896 outG2896, sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 was He of whomG3739 I saidG3004, ‘15He who is comingG2064 afterG3694 me has provedG1096 toG1096 beG1096 16my superiorG1715, 17becauseG3754 He existedG1510 beforeG4413 me.’” 16For of His 18fullnessG4138 19we have allG3956 receivedG2983, and 20graceG5485 upon graceG5485. 17For 21the LawG3551 was givenG1325 throughG1223 MosesG3475; 22graceG5485 and 23truthG225 24were realizedG1096 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
