God

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was with God in the beginning.

There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—

children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”

When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

“Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”

Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”

Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.

For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
