John 1:9 · BSB

John 1:9 in context

The verses around it, from John 1.

5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

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

7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.

8 He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

9 The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.

11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

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

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