3 See ^(A)what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called ^(B)children of God; and so we are. The reason why ^(C)the world does not know us is that ^(D)it did not know him.

¹² But to all who did receive him, ^(A)who believed in his name, ^(B)he gave the right ^(C)to become ^(D)children of God,

²⁶ for in Christ Jesus ^(A)you are all sons of God, through faith.

^5 (A)to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive ^(B)adoption as sons. ⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent ^(C)the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”

^25 (A)O righteous Father, even though ^(B)the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.

For God So Loved the World

¹⁶ “For ^(A)God so loved ^(B)the world,^{[a] (C)}that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not ^(D)perish but have eternal life.

⁹ In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that ^(A)God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love, ^(B)not that we have loved God ^(C)but that he loved us and sent his Son to be ^(D)the propitiation for our sins.
