John 1 English Standard Version
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Over the past fifteen years I have been quoting the bible and oftentimes a single verse read without context might challenge an individual’s understanding. If that is the case, please go to the bible and read it in context.
Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Did Jesus quote the Word out of context when Satan tempted Him in the wilderness? Did He have to put those words in context to defeat Satan?
2 Corinthians 4:2 But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.
If anyone should not see context in this quote, please go and read the surrounding passages to satisfy your conscience that you understand what God is telling you.
It is not me speaking. The Word speaks.
