The Word Became Flesh

14 And (A)the Word (B)became flesh, and [a](C)dwelt among us, and (D)we beheld His glory, glory as of the [b]only begotten from the Father, full of (E)grace and (F)truth. 15 John *(G)bore witness about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘(H)He who comes after me [c]has been ahead of me, (I)for He existed before me.’” 16 For of His (J)fullness [d]we have all received, and grace [e]upon grace. 17 For (K)the Law was given through Moses; (L)grace and (M)truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 (N)No one has seen God at any time; (O)the only begotten God who is (P)in the bosom of the Father, (Q)He has explained Him.

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.
