¹⁶ For God so loved^(A) the world that he gave^(B) his one and only Son,^(C) that whoever believes^(D) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.^{(E) 17} For God did not send his Son into the world^(F) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.^(G)

⁸ But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.^(A)

⁹ This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son^(A) into the world that we might live through him.^(B)

³⁸ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^[a] neither the present nor the future,^(A) nor any powers,^{(B) 39} neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God^(C) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.^(D)

¹⁷ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts^(A) through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted^(B) and established in love, ¹⁸ may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people,^(C) to grasp how wide and long and high and deep^(D) is the love of Christ, ¹⁹ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge^(E)—that you may be filled^(F) to the measure of all the fullness of God.^(G)
