003:016 For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages. 003:017 For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 003:018 He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son. 003:019 And this is the test by which men are judged--the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than they loved the Light, because their deeds were wicked. 003:020 For every wrongdoer hates the light, and does not come to the light, for fear his actions should be exposed and condemned. 003:021 But he who does what is honest and right comes to the light, in order that his actions may be plainly shown to have been done in God. 003:022 After this Jesus and His disciples went into Judaea; and there He made a stay in company with them and baptized. 003:023 And John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were many pools of water there; and people came and received baptism. 003:024 (For John was not yet in prison.) 003:025 As the result, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification, 003:026 they came to John and reported to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people are resorting to him." 003:027 "A man cannot obtain anything," replied John, "unless it has been granted to him from Heaven. 003:028 You yourselves can bear witness to my having said, `I am not the Christ,' but `I am His appointed forerunner.' 003:029 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; and the bridegroom's friend who stands by his side and listens to him, rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. 003:030 He must grow greater, but I must grow less. 003:031 He who comes from above is above all. He whose origin is from the earth is not only himself from the earth, his teaching also is from the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all. 003:032 What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; but His testimony no one receives. 003:033 Any man who has received His testimony has solemnly declared that God is true. 003:034 For He whom God has sent speaks God's words; for God does not give the Spirit with limitations." 003:035 The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to His hands. 003:036 He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him.
