John 3:16-20 in English

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.

¹⁶ For God so sincerely loved the world that He gave His only born Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t 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 doesn’t believe is condemned already because that person has not believed in the name of God’s only Son.

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

²⁰ Everyone who practices evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

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.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

²⁰ For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.

¹⁶ God loved us people MTY in the world so much that he gave his only Son as a sacrifice for us, in order that everyone who believes in him would not be separated from God forever. Instead, they would have eternal life.

¹⁷ When God sent his Son into the world, his purpose was not to punish the people in MTY the world for their sins. Instead, he sent him in order that they might be saved by him {he might save them} from being ◄ guilty/punished► for their sins.

¹⁸ Everyone who trusts in his Son, God says that they will not be punished {that he will not punish them}. But God has already said that everyone who does not trust in his Son will be punished {that he will punish everyone who does not trust in his Son}, because they have not trusted in what his only Son has done for them.

¹⁹ The one who was like a light MET to reveal God's truth to us came into the world. But people loved doing what was evil, like darkness MET is evil, instead of loving the one who was like a light. That is the reason God will judge people and condemn them.

²⁰ Everyone who does what is evil hates the one who is like a light, and they will not come to the one who is like a light, because it would be shown { the one who is like a light would show} that their deeds are evil, and he would rebuke them.

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

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

¹⁹ This is the judgement, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

¹⁶ For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

¹⁸ The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.

²⁰ The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

¹⁷ For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.

¹⁸ He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are;

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.

¹⁸ He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world so that He might condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

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

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light, because their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone that does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works be exposed.

¹⁶ Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

¹⁸ The one believing into Him is not condemned, but the one not believing has already been condemned, because he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ “Now this is the basis for the condemning, that the Light has come into the world, but the people loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were malignant.

²⁰ For whoever practices evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds may not be exposed.

¹⁶ For God loved the world, and this is how: he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who trusts in him shouldn't die, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ God didn't send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

¹⁸ Those who trust in him are not condemned, while those who don't trust in him are condemned already because they didn't trust in the one and only Son of God.

¹⁹ This is how the decision is made: the light came to the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light, for their actions were evil.

²⁰ All those who do evil hate the light and don't come into the light, because they don't want their actions to be exposed.

¹⁶ For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued.

¹⁸ Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that that light came into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then that light, because their deedes were euill.

²⁰ For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued.

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.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him 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.

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.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

¹⁶ Human beings are very much in God's feelings. Because of that he gave his very own male child for them, so that the ones who habitually believe in him should not become worthless dregs, but should live for ever in his camp.

¹⁷ He did not send his son here for what's-it, to banish them from his presence for ever. He sent him for us, to rescue everybody!

¹⁸ Whoever believes in God's Son, he will not send him away. Everyone who does not believe in that sort of way stays in a really bad way forever, because they reject God's very own son.

¹⁹ This is how it works: The Light of God has come to us, BUT / in contrast, opposite of what one would expect but men love darkness, they want to do evil.

²⁰ Evil-doers hate the Light of God, they do not come to the Light of God, because of shame about the bad things they have done.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave the only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him may not perish, but may have everlasting life.

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

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.

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

¹⁸ The person who believes in him escapes condemnation, while the person who does not believe in him is already condemned, because they have not believed in the only Son of God.

¹⁹ The ground of their condemnation is this, that though the light has come into the world, people preferred the darkness to the light, because their actions were wicked.

²⁰ For the person who lives an evil life hates the light, and will not come to it, fearing that their actions will be exposed;

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men have agapao ·total devotion love· to the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

¹⁶ For God so loveth the worlde that he hath geven his only sonne that none that beleve in him shuld perisshe: but shuld have everlastinge lyfe.

¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde to condempne the worlde: but that the worlde through him might be saved.

¹⁸ He that beleveth on him shall not be condempned. But he that beleveth not is condempned all redy be cause he beleveth not in the name of the only sonne of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condempnacion: that light is come into the worlde and the me loved darcknes more then light because their dedes were evill.

²⁰ For every man that evyll doeth hateth the light: nether commeth to light lest his dedes shuld be reproved.
