14The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory — glory as of an only-begotten from the Father — full of grace and truth.
*Logos* is rendered "the Word," as the Pioneer Translation consistently does. *Monogenous* is translated "only-begotten" rather than the weakened "one and only," preserving the generative, relational meaning of the term — one who is begotten from a source, here distinctly "from the Father" (*para patros*), reinforcing the sender/sent and origin distinction between Father and Son. *Eskēnōsen* literally means "pitched his tent" or "tabernacled," rendered here as "dwelt" for natural modern English, though the tabernacle resonance with the Hebrew *mishkan* is present in the source.

Translation for Translators
