²⁰ Christ was chosen before the world was made, but he was shown to the world in these last times for you.

¹⁶ Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.

¹⁰ True love is God’s love for us, not our love for God. He sent his Son as the way to take away our sins.

¹⁹ We love because God first loved us.

³² He even let his own Son suffer for us. God gave his Son for all of us. So now with Jesus, God will surely give us all things.
