¹⁵ so that everyone who ^[a]believes will ^(A)have eternal life in Him.

¹⁶ “For God so ^(B)loved the world, that He ^(C)gave His ^(D)only Son, so that everyone who ^(E)believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God ^(F)did not send the Son into the world ^(G)to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. ^18 (H)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 ^(I)the only Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that ^(J)the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for ^(K)their deeds were evil. ^20 (L)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 ^(M)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed ^[b]as having been performed in God.”

^22 (A)But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves. ²³ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his ^[a]natural face ^(B)in a mirror; ²⁴ for once he has looked at himself and gone away, ^[b]he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. ²⁵ But one who has looked intently at the perfect law, ^(C)the law of freedom, and has continued in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but ^[c]an active doer, this person will be ^(D)blessed in ^[d]what he does.
