John OR GOD fo LOViii. 16. ED the World, that he gave his ONLY begotten SON, that whofoever BELIEVETH in him, should not PERISH, but have everlasting LIFE.

17. For God fent not his SON into the World to CONDEMN the World; but that the World thro' 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.
