John 3:16 in Context — John 3
14 Et comme Moïse éleva le serpent dans le désert,il faut de même que le Fils de l’homme soit élevé,
15 afin que quiconque croit en luiait la vie éternelle.
16 Car Dieu a tant aimé le monde qu’il a donné son Fils unique,afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse point, mais qu’il ait la vie éternelle.
17 Dieu, en effet, n’a pas envoyé son Fils dans le monde pour qu’il juge le monde, mais pour que le monde soit sauvé par lui.
18 Celui qui croit en lui n’est point jugé; mais celui qui ne croit pas est déjà jugé, parce qu’il n’a pas cru au nom du Fils unique de Dieu.
