14The Word became human and lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son, full of grace and truth.
15John gave his testimony about him, shouting out to the people, “This is the one I was telling you about when I said, ‘The one who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’”
16We have all been recipients of his generous nature, one gracious gift after another.
17The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18While no one has ever seen God, God the one and only, who is close to the Father, has shown us what God is like.
