- John 3:16 The Gk word houtos, commonly translated in Jn 3:16 as “so” or “so much” occurs over 200 times in the NT. Almost without exception it is an adverb of manner, not degree (for example, see Mt 1:18). It only means “so much” when modifying an adjective (see Gl 3:3; Rv 16:18). Manner seems primarily in view in Jn 3:16, which explains the HCSB‘s rendering.

2 Corinthians 5:18-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:(A) 19 That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world(B) to Himself,(C) not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors(D) for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf,(E) “Be reconciled to God.” 21 He made the One who did not know sin(F) to be sin[a] for us,(G) so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
