¹⁴ The Word became flesh^(A) and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,^(B) the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace^(C) and truth.^(D)

¹⁵ (John testified^(E) concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”)^{(F) 16} Out of his fullness^(G) we have all received grace^(H) in place of grace already given. ¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses;^(I) grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.^{(J) 18} No one has ever seen God,^(K) but the one and only Son, who is himself God and^[a](L) is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

¹⁶ For God so loved^(A) the world that he gave^(B) his one and only Son,^(C) that whoever believes^(D) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.^{(E) 17} For God did not send his Son into the world^(F) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.^(G)
