John 3:17 Context
15That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue eternall life. 16¶ For God so loued þe world, that he gaue his only begotten Sonne: that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life. 17For God sent not his Sonne into the world to condemne the world: but that the world through him might be saued. 18¶ He that beleeueth on him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because hee hath not beleeued in the Name of the onely begotten Sonne of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loued darknesse rather then light, because their deedes were euill.
