John 1:15 in Context — John 1
13 Os quais não são gerados de sangue, nem de vontade da carne, nem de vontade de homem, mas sim de Deus.
14 E aquela Palavra se fez carne, e habitou entre nós; (e vimos sua glória, como glória do unigênito do Pai) cheio de graça e de verdade.
15 E João dele testemunhou, e clamou, dizendo: Este era aquele, de quem eu dizia: O que vem após mim é antes de mim; porque era primeiro que eu.
16 E de sua plenitude recebemos todos também graça por graça.
17 Porque a Lei foi dada por Moisés; a graça e a verdade foi feita por Jesus Cristo.
