John 3:16-26

New Century Version NCV

16 "God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.

17 God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him.

18 People who believe in God's Son are not judged guilty. Those who do not believe have already been judged guilty, because they have not believed in God's one and only Son.

19 They are judged by this fact: The Light has come into the world, but they did not want light. They wanted darkness, because they were doing evil things.

20 All who do evil hate the light and will not come to the light, because it will show all the evil things they do.

21 But those who follow the true way come to the light, and it shows that the things they do were done through God."

22 After this, Jesus and his followers went into the area of Judea, where he stayed with his followers and baptized people.

23 John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. People were going there to be baptized.

24 (This was before John was put into prison.)

25 Some of John's followers had an argument with a Jew about religious washing.

26 So they came to John and said, "Teacher, remember the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, the one you spoke about so much? He is baptizing, and everyone is going to him."

New International Version NIV

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized.

23 Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were coming and being baptized.

24 (This was before John was put in prison.)

25 An argument developed between some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing.

26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.”
