• It was not only the character of His glory here below; it is what He was (what He had been, what He ever is) in the Father’s own bosom in the Godhead: and it is thus that He declared Him. (“John 1” by J.N. Darby)
• He revealed God as He knew Him, as the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. It was not only the character of His glory here below; it is what He was (what He had been, what He ever is) in the Father’s own bosom in the Godhead: and it is thus that He declared Him. (“John 1” by J.N. Darby)
• Christ is the truth, the revealer and revelation of God….Nowhere does scripture say with rationalists and, one regrets to add, with theologians, that God is the truth. Not so: God is the “I AM,” the self-subsisting One; He is light, He is love. (“John 1” by W. Kelly)
• The Son is in the bosom of the Father, not who was, as if He had left it; as He left the glory and is now gone back into glory as man. He never left the Father’s bosom. (“John 1” by W. Kelly)

No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is inf the bosom of the Father, *he* hath declared him.

JND Translation Notes

f
Eis, not en. perhaps "on." The expression indicates the place where, or the state. see Acts 8.23; Mark 1.9. In chap. 13 it is en in ver. 23, epi in ver. 25.

W. Kelly Translation

No one hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Sona who is in the bosom of the Father—he declared [him].

WK Translation Notes

a
Though there is ancient support, of "God," instead of the ordinary reading "Son." Nevertheless many MSS. read "only-begotten Son." It is not according to the analogy of scripture to speak of "only-begotten God;" and "Son" is the true correlate to "Father."
