11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him. 12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the authority to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: 13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
11 “Alikuja kwake, wala walio wake hawakumpokea. 12 Bali wote waliompokea aliwapa uwezo wa kufanyika watoto wa Mungu; ndio wale waliaminio jina lake. 13 Waliozaliwa, si kwa damu wala si kwa mapenzi ya mwili, wala si kwa mapenzi ya mtu, bali kwa Mungu.”
