14 And (A)the Word (B)became flesh and (C)dwelt among us, (D)and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[a] from the Father, full of (E)grace and (F)truth. 15 ((G)John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, (H)‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) 16 For from (I)his fullness we have all received, (J)grace upon grace.[b] 17 For (K)the law was given through Moses; (L)grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 (M)No one has ever seen God; (N)the only God,[c] who is at the Father's side,[d] (O)he has made him known.

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.

15 John testified about him, crying out, “This is the one of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is greater than me because he existed before me.’”

16 From his fullness we have all received grace upon grace;
17     as the Law was given through Moses,
    so grace and truth came into being through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God.
    God the only Son,
        who is at the Father’s side,
        has made God known.
