14 So the Word became flesh+ and resided* among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son+ from a father; and he was full of undeserved kindness and truth.+

16 No, it was not by following artfully contrived false stories+ that we acquainted YOU with the power and presence* of our Lord Jesus Christ,+ but it was by having become eyewitnesses of his magnificence.+
