John 3:16 KJV Copy Print Similar Verses Save 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 18He 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. ![]() 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. 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. 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. There is no question that, according to the Bible, people can be saved only through faith in Jesus.13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. The life offered to those who believe in Christ is "eternal," from a Greek word meaning "never ending." The alternative to life in Christ is destruction: to "perish." Verse 16 and 17 explain that the purpose of sending Jesus was our salvation, but verse 18 reminds us that those who don't believe are condemned. This makes John 3:16 an important part of proving the biblical concept of the Trinity. The word literally means something of the exact same "stuff." In other words, the Son is of exactly the same nature as God the Father. While the English term "begotten" often makes people think of biology, monogenes does not imply it. This is a very precise word, and one which John uses in other places in this gospel (John 1:14 John 1:18 John 3:18). The phrase translated as "One and Only Son," or "only begotten Son" uses the Greek word monogenes. Jesus is an expression of God's indescribable love for "the world," meaning all of mankind (1 John 4:9–10). The opening phrase is traditionally translated as "God so loved the world that…" and is typically understood to mean, "God loved the world so much that…" There is nothing incorrect about that idea, but the actual phrase means "God loved the world in this way," with emphasis on what God did, more than why. John 3:16 also reflects another important aspect of the gospel: the essential idea is extremely clear, but there are layers of meaning and knowledge inside of it. The verse is a one-sentence summary of the gospel, and the subject line of the entire Bible. It is probably the best-known and most-memorized part of any holy text in human history. This is certainly the most well-known verse in the Bible. This is the core of Christianity: that God loved the world enough to come as Jesus, and to die for us, so that anyone who trusts in Him will be saved from sin. ![]()
