John 1:12

12 Some people did accept him. They believed in his name. He gave them the right to become children of God.

John 1:12 In-Context

10 The Word was in the world that was made through him. But the world did not recognize him.

11 He came to what was his own. But his own people did not accept him.

12 Some people did accept him. They believed in his name. He gave them the right to become children of God.

13 To be a child of God has nothing to do with human parents. Children of God are not born because of human choice or because a husband wants them to be born. They are born because of what God does.

14 The Word became a human being. He made his home with us. We have seen his glory. It is the glory of the one and only Son. He came from the Father. And he was full of grace and truth.
