John 3:15-17
Summary for John 3:16-21: 3:16-21 a Because there are no quotation marks around Jesus’ speech in the Greek text, translators debate where Jesus’ speech ends and John’s commentary begins; 3:16-21 b might be John’s commentary. 3:16 c The truth that God loved the world is basic to Christian understanding (1 Jn 4:9-10 d). God’s love extends beyond the limits of race and nation, even to those who oppose him (see thematic note for The World at end of chapter).• The Son came to save—not condemn (3:17 e)—men and women who habitually embrace the darkness (3:19-21 f).
