3:16 - [In Context ]"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
3:17 - [In Context ]God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
3:18 - [In Context ]"There is no judgment awaiting those who trust him. But those who do not trust him have already been judged for not believing in the only Son of God.
3:19 - [In Context ]Their judgment is based on this fact: The light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.
3:20 - [In Context ]They hate the light because they want to sin in the darkness. They stay away from the light for fear their sins will be exposed and they will be punished.
3:21 - [In Context ]But those who do what is right come to the light gladly, so everyone can see that they are doing what God wants."
