John 1:9–13 (Listen)

9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own,¹ and his own people² did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

(ESV)

The Word Became Flesh

1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

(ESV)

1 Corinthians 12:12–14 (Listen)

One Body with Many Members

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves¹ or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many.

(ESV)
