John 1:18
KJV
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
ESV
No one has ever seen God [omit]; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.
Many versions omit “at any time” and/or “begotten” and then come up with their own unique twist on where exactly the Son is in the Father. Only a few versions such as the NASB1995 and the LSB actually agree with their underlying Greek text in the part that reads “begotten God” – which implies Jesus is a new God that was begotten by God the Father.
