^2 [a]He was in the beginning with God.

^18 (A)No one has seen God at any time; ^(B)God the only Son, who is ^(C)in the ^[a]arms of the Father, ^(D)He has ^[b]explained Him.

¹⁶ “For God so ^(A)loved the world, that He ^(B)gave His ^(C)only Son, so that everyone who ^(D)believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God ^(E)did not send the Son into the world ^(F)to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. ^18 (G)The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of ^(H)the only Son of God.

²⁴ Therefore I said to you that you ^(A)will die in your sins; for unless you believe that ^[a](B)I am, ^(C)you will die in your sins.”

⁹ By this the love of God was revealed ^[a](A)in us, that ^(B)God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.
