John 1:18

From Textus Receptus

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Monogenes

Many modern Greek dictionaries falsely define the Greek monogenes as "unique" or "one of a kind".

The Codex Vaticanus has μονογενὴς θεός (only begotten God) here in John 1:18 instead of the usual μονογενὴς υἱός (only begotten Son)

Only Beggoten God?

The Codex Vaticanus has μονογενὴς θεός (only begotten God) here in John 1:18. P66 and P75 both read θεός. In the Alexandrian tradition, scibes used the abbreviations (Υς/Θς). Υς for son and Θς for God.
