Context Readings

God's Love For The World

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. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil.
