John 1:7-14

⁷This man came as a witness, to testify about the light, that all through him might believe.

⁸He wasn’t that light, but was sent as a witness of that light.

⁹The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

¹⁰The Word was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world didn’t recognize Him.

¹¹He came to His own, and those who were His own didn’t receive Him.

¹²But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in His name:

¹³who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
