Joh 3:16-21<\/strong><\/p>\n

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.<\/p>\n

“Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.<\/p>\n

Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God.<\/p>\n

(v.19) And this is the judgment<\/span><\/strong>, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.<\/p>\n

For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed.<\/p>\n

But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.”<\/p>\n
