John 3:17 in Context — John 3

15 Para que todo aquele que nele crer não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna.

16 Porque Deus amou ao mundo de tal maneira, que deu o seu Filho unigênito; para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna.

17 Porque Deus não mandou seu Filho ao mundo para que condenasse ao mundo; mas sim para que o mundo por ele fosse salvo;

18 Quem nele crer não é condenado; mas quem não crê já está condenado; pois não tem crido no nome do unigênito Filho de Deus.

19 E esta é a condenação: que a luz veio ao mundo, e as pessoas amaram mais as trevas que a luz, porque suas obras eram más.
