16 For God so loved the world, that
He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.

world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be
saved.

condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey The Son will never
experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.”
