John 3:16-18

Lexham English Bible

God’s Love for the World

¹⁶ For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world in order that he should judge^[a] the world, but in order that the world should be saved through him. ¹⁸ The one who believes in him is not judged,^[b] but the one who does not believe has already been judged,^[c] because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
