John 1:10-18

10He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

11He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

12But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

13who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

15John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ ”

16And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.

17For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

18No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
