John 1:12-17

New King James Version

¹² But ^(A)as many as received Him, to them He gave the ^[a]right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: ^13 (B)who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The Word Becomes Flesh

^14 (C)And the Word ^(D)became ^(E)flesh and dwelt among us, and ^(F)we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ^(G)full of grace and truth.

^15 (H)John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ^(I)‘He who comes after me ^[b]is preferred before me, ^(J)for He was before me.’ ”

^16 [c]And of His ^(K)fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. ¹⁷ For ^(L)the law was given through Moses, but ^(M)grace and ^(N)truth came through Jesus Christ.
