Son, who came from the Father, full of
grace and truth.

John testifies concerning him. He
cries out, saying, ‘This was he of
whom I said, ‘He who comes after me
has surpassed me because he was
before me.’’

3. John 1: 16, 17
From the fullness of his grace we have
all received one blessing after
another. For the law was given
through Moses; grace and truth came
through Jesus Christ.

the one and only, who is at the
