children born not of blood, nor of the desire of the flesh, nor of a man’s will, but of God.
In context
11He came to what was his own, and his own people did not welcome him. 12But to all who did receive him, to those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — 13children born not of blood, nor of the desire of the flesh, nor of a man’s will, but of God. 14And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We looked on his glory, the glory of an only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15John testified about him. He cried out, “This is the one I meant when I said, ‘He who comes after me now stands ahead of me, because he was before me.’”
