John 1:14-18

14So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.

15John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.’”

16From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.

17For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ.

18No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.
