Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 He was in the world,
and the world was created(A) through Him,
yet the world did not recognize Him.

He gave them the right(D) to be[c] children(E) of God,(F)
to those who believe(G) in His name,(H)
13 who were born,(I)
not of blood,[d]
or of the will(J) of the flesh,(K)
or of the will of man,[e]
but of God.(L)
