John 3:15–18

¹⁵that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.^d

¹⁶For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only^e Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. ¹⁸Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Footnotes
