237. God So Loved the World

God so loved the world,
God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoso believeth, believeth in Him
should not perish, should not perish
but have everlasting life.
For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world,
God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved.

God so loved the world,
God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoso believeth, believeth in Him
should not perish, should not perish
but have everlasting life,
everlasting, everlasting life.
God so loved the world,
God so loved the world,
God so loved the world.
