John 3:16-18 For God loved the world so dearly that he gave up his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life, instead of perishing.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ For God loved the world so dearly that he gave up his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life, instead of perishing. ¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to pass sentence on it, but to save the world by him. ¹⁸ He who believes in him is not sentenced; he who will not believe is sentenced already, for having refused to believe in the name of the only Son of God.
