John 1:12-17

12But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:1 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 was made 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 concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16And of his fulness have we all received, and grace for grace. 17For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
