John 3:16-18
Revised Standard Version
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. 18 He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
New Jerusalem Bible
16 For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in
him may not perish
but have eternal life
17 For God sent his Son into the world
not to judge the world,
but so that through him the world
might be saved.
18 No one who believes in him will be judged;
but whoever does not believe is
judged already,
because that person does not believe
in the Name of God’s only Son.
