In Christian theology, God the Son is the second person of the Trinity, which teaches that Jesus Christ is the Incarnation of God.[1] God the Son who along with the Father and the Holy Spirit is of the same essence, share the same qualities, and each are fully God.

These three words: "God the Son" are nowhere to be found in the Bible,[2][3] but are found in later Christian sources.[4] At one time, a scribe made an error in one medieval manuscript, MS No. 1985, where Galatians 2:20 has "Son of God" changed to "God the Son".[5]

The New American Standard Bible chooses to translate John 1:18 as:

No one has seen God at any time; God the only Son, who is in the arms of the Father, He has explained Him.
