The Universal Invitation
(vv. 10-13)
He was in the world, and the world was
made through him, yet the world did

and his own people did not receive him.
But to all who did receive him, who
believed in his name, he gave the
right to become children of God,
who were born, not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God.
