John 1:12 in Context — John 1

10 Elle était dans le monde, et le monde a été fait par elle, et le monde ne l’a point connue.

11 Elle est venue chez les siens, et les siens ne l’ont point reçue.

12 Mais à tous ceux qui l’ont reçue, à ceux qui croient en son nom, elle a donné le pouvoir de devenir enfants de Dieu, lesquels sont nés,

13 non du sang, ni de la volonté de la chair, ni de la volonté de l’homme, mais de Dieu.

14 Et la parole a été faite chair, et elle a habité parmi nous, pleine de grâce et de vérité; et nous avons contemplé sa gloire, une gloire comme la gloire du Fils unique venu du Père.
