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.
