John 1:9-18

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁹ The true light^(A) that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.^[a](B)

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was created^(C) through him, and yet the world did not recognise him. ¹¹ He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. ¹² But to all who did receive^(D) him,^(E) he gave them the right^(F) to be^[b] children^(G) of God,^(H) to those who believe^(I) in his name,^{(J) 13} who were born,^(K) not of natural descent,^[c] or of the will^(L) of the flesh,^(M) or of the will of man,^[d] but of God.^(N)

¹⁴ The Word^(O) became flesh^(P) and dwelt^[e] among us. We observed his glory,^(Q) the glory as the one and only^(R) Son^[f] from the Father, full of grace and truth. ¹⁵ (John testified concerning him and exclaimed, ‘This was the one of whom I said, “The one coming after me^(S) ranks ahead of me,^(T) because he existed before me.” ’)^{(U) 16} Indeed, we have all received grace^(V) upon^[g] grace from his fullness, ¹⁷ for the law was given through Moses;^(W) grace and truth^(X) came through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ No one has ever seen God. The one and only^(Y) Son, who is himself God and is at the Father’s^(Z) side^[h] – he has revealed him.^(AA)
