John 3:16-24
New American Standard Bible
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. 19 And this is the judgment, that (I)the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for (J)their deeds were evil. 20 (K)For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. 21 But the one who (L)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed [a]as having been performed in God.”
John the Baptist’s Last Testimony
22 After these things Jesus and His (M)disciples came into the land of Judea; and there He was spending time with them and (N)baptizing. 23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was an abundance of water there; and people were coming and being baptized— 24 for (O)John had not yet been thrown into prison.
