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.

⁸ But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
