John 1:10-14

Goodspeed(i) 10 He came into the world, and though the world came into existence through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to his home, and his own family did not welcome him. 12 But to all who did receive him and believe in him he gave the right to become children of God, 13 owing their birth not to nature nor to any human or physical impulse, but to God. 14 So the Word became flesh and blood and lived for a while among us, abounding in blessing and truth, and we saw the honor God had given him, such honor as an only son receives from his father.
