| 16 “For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” 17 For
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the
world through him. 18 Whoever
believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned
already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19This
is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of
light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone
who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that
his deeds will be exposed. 21 But
whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen
plainly that what he has done has been done through God. |
