17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him may be saved.


In Context

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him may be saved.

18 He that believeth on him, is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
