New International Version NIV
11 Il est venu chez les siens; et les siens ne l'ont point reçu.
11
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
12 Mais à tous ceux qui l'ont reçu, il leur a donné le droit d'être faits enfants de Dieu, savoir, à ceux qui croient en son nom,
12
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
13 Qui ne sont point nés du sang, ni de la volonté de la chair, ni de la volonté de l'homme, mais de Dieu.
13
children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
14 Et la Parole a été faite chair, et a habité parmi nous, pleine de grâce et de vérité, et nous avons contemplé sa gloire, une gloire comme celle du Fils unique venu du Père.
