I question this translation of John 1:18. Brother Paul states that ekhadiya literally means "the one". Janet Magiera usually translates this word as "unique". "Only begotten God" seems to lend itself to Arianism, and has been used as such. Jesus being referred to as the ekhadiya Alaha and ekhadiya breh points more toward his uniqueness. Would sticking with the more literal "the only God" or "the unique God" be more accurate?
