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 was a man sent from God whose name was Yochanan.

But to as many as did receive him, to those who put their trust in his person and power, he gave the right to become children of God,

not because of bloodline, physical impulse or human intention, but because of God.

The Word became a human being and lived with us, and we saw his Sh’khinah, the Sh’khinah of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.

No one has ever seen God; but the only and unique Son, who is identical with God and is at the Father’s side — he has made him known.

The next day, Yochanan saw Yeshua coming toward him and said, “Look! God’s lamb! The one who is taking away the sin of the world!

I myself did not know who he was, but the one who sent me to immerse in water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is the one who immerses in the Ruach HaKodesh.’

And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.”

On seeing Yeshua walking by, he said, “Look! God’s lamb!”

Natan’el said, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Isra’el!”

Then he said to him, “Yes indeed! I tell you that you will see heaven opened and the angels of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man!”

and to the pigeon-sellers he said, “Get these things out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market?”

This man came to Yeshua by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know it is from God that you have come as a teacher; for no one can do these miracles you perform unless God is with him.”

“Yes, indeed,” Yeshua answered him, “I tell you that unless a person is born again from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

Yeshua answered, “Yes, indeed, I tell you that unless a person is born from water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed.

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but rather so that through him, the world might be saved.

Those who trust in him are not judged; those who do not trust have been judged already, in that they have not trusted in the one who is God’s only and unique Son.

But everyone who does what is true comes to the light, so that all may see that his actions are accomplished through God.”

Whoever does accept what he says puts his seal on the fact that God is true,

because the one whom God sent speaks God’s words. For God does not give him the Spirit in limited degree —

the Father loves the Son and has put everything in his hands.

Whoever trusts in the Son has eternal life. But whoever disobeys the Son will not see that life but remains subject to God’s wrath.”
