"I will announce," says the king, "what the LORD has declared. He said to me: 'You are my son; today I have become your father.

The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father's only Son.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.

For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. He will show him even greater things to do than this, and you will all be amazed.

For God never said to any of his angels, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father." Nor did God say about any angel, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son."

And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him.
