John 3:17

For God did not send his Son into the world, in order to judge the world, but in order that the world may be saved through him.

Catholic Public Domain Version

In The King James Version

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

In Context

18Whoever believes in him is not judged. But whoever does not believe is already judged, because he does not believe in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
