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. This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. (John 3:16, 1 John 3:16)
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? (John 3:17, 1 John 3:17)
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. Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. (John 3:18, 1 John 3:18)
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. (John 3:19, 1 John 3:19-20a)
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. (John 3:20, 1 John 3:20b)
