The first 2 verses in this passage are quoted often.
But I bet we seldom if ever hear the 4 verses that follow.
John 3
16 “For this is how God loved the world:
He gave his one and only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
will not perish
but have eternal life.
17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world,
but to save the world through him.
18 “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him.
But anyone who does not believe in him
has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.
19 And the judgment is based on this fact:
God’s light came into the world,
but people loved the darkness more than the light,
for their actions were evil.
20 All who do evil hate the light
and refuse to go near it
for fear their sins will be exposed.
21 But those who do what is right
come to the light
so others can see that they are doing what God wants.”
