John 1:10-14

Common English Bible

¹⁰ The light was in the world,
    and the world came into being through the light,
        but the world didn’t recognize the light.
¹¹ The light came to his own people,
    and his own people didn’t welcome him.
¹² But those who did welcome him,
        those who believed in his name,
    he authorized to become God’s children,
¹³         born not from blood
        nor from human desire or passion,
        but born from God.
¹⁴ The Word became flesh
    and made his home among us.
We have seen his glory,
    glory like that of a father’s only son,
        full of grace and truth.
