John 3:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 That whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 (A)[a]For God so loveth the world, that he hath given his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth [b]in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 (B)[c]For God sent not his Son into the world, that he should [d]condemn the world, but that the [e]world through him might be saved.
