# John 1:14 and Forgiveness John 1:14 states: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth" (ESV). This verse doesn't directly teach about forgiveness, but rather focuses on the incarnation—God becoming human in Jesus Christ. However, it lays the foundation for forgiveness by revealing that Jesus, "full of grace and truth," came to dwell among humanity, which made possible the redemptive work that brings forgiveness of sins.
