16 For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

16 Koia ano te aroha o te Atua ki te ao, homai ana e ia tana Tama kotahi, kia kahore ai e ngaro te tangata e whakapono ana ki a ia, engari kia whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu.
