For God So Loved the World

John 3

¹⁶ "For _h God so loved _i the world, _{1 j} that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not _k perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For _l God did not send his Son into the world _m to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ _n Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not _o believed in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹ _p And this is the judgment: _q the light has come into the world, and _r people loved the darkness rather than the light because _s their works were evil. ²⁰ _t For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, _u lest his works should be exposed. ²¹ But whoever _v does what is true _w comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God."
