John 1:10-13 in English

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.

¹¹ He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.

¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:

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

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

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

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

¹⁰ Although the one who was like a light was here on the earth, and although he was the one whom God caused to create everything, most people MTY, HYP did not realize who he was. (OR, although he was the one whom God caused to create everything, most people did not accept him.)

¹¹ Although he came to the land that belonged to him because he created it, most of his own people, the Jews, rejected him (OR, did not accept him).

¹² But those of us who welcomed him, God authorized that we would have a relationship with him MET like children have a relationship with their father. We were people who believed that what he said about himself MTY was true.

¹³ We became like God's children, not because our ancestors belonged to God, or because of someone's sexual desires, nor because some man desired to have children like himself. Instead, we were caused by God {God caused us} to become like his children.
