John 1:14-18 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.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ¹⁵ (John testified to him and cried out—for it was he who said it—"He who was to come after me is now ahead of me, for he existed before me!") ¹⁶ For from his abundance we have all had a share, and received blessing after blessing. ¹⁷ For while the Law was given through Moses, blessing and truth came to us through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ No one has ever seen God; it is the divine Only Son, who leans upon his Father's breast, that has made him known.
