God's Love For The World

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God sent the Son into the world not that he might 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 has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
