    So the Bathroom is not necessarily a wrong answer as that is a private place.

    The two do not say the same thing. "One and only" is not the same as "Only begotten".

    The rendering of "only-begotten" is an imposed interpertation from the Latin for the Greek word.

    used to refer to Jesus being fully God, and not a created being as Arians were holding to!

    Technically μονογενους only-existent meaning unique does not mean γεγραπται begotten.

    Spot on!! Monogenes in this usage actually means "one of a kind" or uniquely divine. So both miss the mark but "one and only" comes much closer to the intended message.

    Yes. Use a modern English version or versions.

    Either term would be a valid translation!

    Acceptable but not literally begotten.
