Context Readings

God's Love For The World

16 For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son.
