John 1:12

12 But to all who did accept him and believe in him he gave the right to become children of God.

John 1:12 In-Context

10 The Word was in the world, and the world was made by him, but the world did not know him.

11 He came to the world that was his own, but his own people did not accept him.

12 But to all who did accept him and believe in him he gave the right to become children of God.

13 They did not become his children in any human way -- by any human parents or human desire. They were born of God.

14 The Word became a human and lived among us. We saw his glory -- the glory that belongs to the only Son of the Father -- and he was full of grace and truth.
