JMNT(i)
10 It was (or: He was, and continued existing being)
within the world (or: ordered system),
and the world (ordered system)
came to be (or: was birthed)
through It (or: by means of Him),
and the world (ordered system; or: cosmos)
did not have intimate, experiential knowledge of It (or: did not recognize Him; had no insight into It).
11 It (or: He)
came into Its (or: His)
own things (possessions, or people),
and It’s own (or: His own)
people did not receive It (or: Him)
and take It (or: Him)
to their side.
12 Yet, as many as receive It (or: took Him) –
to the ones habitually trusting and believing into Its Name (or: His Name) –
It gives (or: He gave)
to them (or: for them; in them)
authority ([the] right; or: privilege from out of the midst of Being)
to be birthed (or: to become)
God’s children (born ones),
13 who are born (or: were given birth)
not out of bloods (or: [flows] of blood),
neither forth from the will of flesh (or: from the intent of a flesh [ceremony]),
nor yet out of the will (purpose; intent)
of an adult male, but to the contrary, from out of the midst of God!
14 And so The Word (the Idea; the Thought; the Reason; the Discourse; the Message; The Collected Expression of Rational Logic; The Logos; = the meaning, plan and rational purpose of the ordered universe)
births Itself flesh (or: became flesh; came to be [in] flesh; came into existence being flesh; = God's thought, the ground of all real existence, became projected into creation as an immanent power within the world of mankind, inhabiting flesh),
and lives in a tent, within us (or: set up a tent and tabernacled among us),
and we view (attentively gaze at; looked at so as to contemplate)
Its (or: His)
glory (Its manifestation which calls forth praise; Its appearance which creates and effects opinions in regard to the whole of human experience; = His manifest presence):
a glory (= prestige and importance; reputation and opinion-forming appearance)
as of an only-begotten one at a father’s side (or: [the] glory from [the presence of the] Father, as a uniquely-born One),
full of grace and truth (filled with favor as well as reality and genuineness).
