Was

This is how we have come to know love: the Messiah gave his life for us. We, too, ought to give our lives for our brothers.

"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.

But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah died for us while we were still sinners.

The one who did not spare his own Son, but offered him as a sacrifice for all of us, surely will give us all things, along with his Son, won't he?

God sent

This is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; he has anointed me to tell the good news to the poor. He has sent me to announce release to the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to set oppressed people free,

so that everyone may honor the Son as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

Jesus answered them, "This is God's work: to believe in the one whom he has sent."

Moreover, the one who sent me is with me. He has never left me alone, because I always do what pleases him."

Only

Let me announce the decree of the LORD that he told me: "You are my son, today I have become your father.

He still had one more person to send, a son whom he loved. Finally, he sent him to them, saying, "They will respect my son.'

The Word became flesh and lived among us. We gazed on his glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the Father's unique Son, who is full of grace and truth.

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God's unique Son.

For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?
