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. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. (John3:16-19 NIV)
“ 神爱世人,甚至把他的独生子赐给他们,叫一切信他的,不至灭亡,反得永生。 因为 神差他的儿子到世上来,不是要定世人的罪,而是要使世人藉着他得救。 信他的,不被定罪;不信的,罪已经定了,因为他不信 神独生子的名。 光来到世上,世人因为自己的行为邪恶,不爱光倒爱黑暗,定他们罪的原因,就在这里。 (约翰福音3:16-19 新译本)
