John 3:16-21 (Gospel)
- 16
- For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
- 17
- For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
- 18
- He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
- 19
- And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
- 20
- For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
- 21
- But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
