(…so that everyone who believes
in him might have future-age-life.)

For, to such an extent
God loved the world
that he gave the only son,
so that everyone who believes
might not perish
but might have next-age-life.

For God did not send the Son
into the world
in order to pronounce judgement on the world
but in order to save the world
through him.

The one who believes in him
will not be judged,
but the one who does not believe
has already been judged,
because they have not already believed
in the name of the only son of God.

And this is the judgement
namely that the Light came into the world
and people loved the darkness
rather than the Light.
For their deeds are evil.
For everyone who does evil
hates the light,
and does not come to the Light,
so that their works might not be made visible.
But the one who does truth,
comes to the L ight,
so that their works might be made visible
because they were done in God.

Eternal God and Fatther,
you create us by your power,
and redeem us by your love,
guide and strengthen us by your Spirit,
that we may give ourselves in love and service
to one another and to you;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
