John 3:16-21

For God So Loved the World

16For aGod so loved bthe world,
Or  For this is how God loved the world
dthat he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not eperish but have eternal life.
17For fGod did not send his Son into the world gto condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 hWhoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not ibelieved in the name of the only Son of God. 19 jAnd this is the judgment: kthe light has come into the world, and lpeople loved the darkness rather than the light because mtheir works were evil. 20 nFor everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, olest his works should be exposed. 21But whoever pdoes what is true qcomes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
