| − | * The Greek word, <i>monogenes</i>, translated as "only begotten" in verses 16 and 18 is used to refer to Christ in the New Testament only in the Gospel of John. Elsewhere in the New Testament, as in [[Luke 8:42|Luke 8:42]], <i>monogenes</i> is used to refer to an only son or daughter. The Greek word carries a strong connotation of uniqueness, and modern translations often used often use "unique son" or "one and only son" in translating these verses. However, the phrase "only begotten son" captures a sense of the Greek that is missing in some of the modern translations. The word <i>monogenes</i> can stand alone, as it does in [[John 1:14|John 1:14]], to mean an only child. By using both <I>monogenes</i> <b>and</b> <i>huios</i> (translated as "son"), John is using redundancy to place an emphasis on the sonship of Jesus. Thus it may be safe to assume that when "only begotten son" is used in modern revelation (often written in an English style patterned after the King James Version) that there is an emphasis on Jesus being the son of God in both a unique and a real sense.
