The title 'only begotten Son' is repeated primarily in which verse?

• A. John 1:14
• B. John 1:18
• C. Luke 2:14
• D. John 3:16

Answer: (D)

The phrase signals Jesus as the unique Son of God and the means of salvation. When this title is used, it heightens the sense that Jesus is not just a teacher or a good man, but the one and only Son the Father gave for humanity. In the verse most commonly associated with this wording, the Gospel presents a concise, decisive message: God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, so that believing in him leads to eternal life rather than perishing. That direct, gospel-centered statement makes this verse the clear focal point for that title. Other verses may refer to the Son or use similar ideas, but this one uses the exact phrasing most closely tied to the concept, which is why it’s considered the primary place for that title.
