For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He gave up His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not be destroyed but have eternal life.
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He even gave up His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
pure religion and undefiled before God an the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and rcognize and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching (salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him), to save those who believed (who trusted in and relied on Him).
This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out His commands.
And His commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
It is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
The world and its desires pass away, but the person who does the will of God lives forever.
This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loveing God and carrying out His commands. This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.
