3:16 For this is the way ²  God loved the world: He gave his one and only ³  Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish ⁴  but have eternal life. ⁵  3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, ⁶  but that the world should be saved through him. 3:18 The one who believes in him is not condemned. ⁷  The one who does not believe has been condemned ⁸  already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only ⁹  Son of God.
