    15that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

    16For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

    18He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

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

    20Everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

    21But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.
