John 1:14-18
World English Bible
14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’” 16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son,[a] who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

John 1:14-18
International Standard Version
The Word Becomes Human
14 The Word became flesh and lived[a] among us. We gazed on his glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the Father’s uniquely existing Son,[b] who is full of grace and truth. 15 John told the truth about him when he cried out, “This is the person about whom I said, ‘The one who comes after me ranks higher than me, because he existed before me.’” 16 We have all received one gracious gift after another from his abundance,[c] 17 because while the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus the Messiah.[d] 18 No one has ever seen God. The uniquely existing God,[e] who is close to the Father’s side, has revealed him.
