King James Version KJV
The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
15
so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
17
For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but rather so that through him, the world might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
18
Those who trust in him are not judged; those who do not trust have been judged already, in that they have not trusted in the one who is God's only and unique Son.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
19
"Now this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light. Why? Because their actions were wicked.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
20
For everyone who does evil things hates the light and avoids it, so that his actions won't be exposed.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
21
But everyone who does what is true comes to the light, so that all may see that his actions are accomplished through God."
