John 3:16 is the sixteenth poesy in the Gospel of John'south 3rd chapter. The gospel is 1 of four in the New Testament. It is deemed one of the well-nigh pop verses from the Bible and as a summary of Christianity's primal doctrines.
In the King James Version, it reads:
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.
John 3:sixteen appears in the conversation between Nicodemus, a Pharisee, and Jesus, a Jewish itinerant preacher. Information technology shows the motives of God the Father on sending Jesus (God the Son) to the humanity. The poesy is considered by biblical scholars to not exist Jesus' words himself, simply John the Evangelist's personal commentary to expand Jesus preaching at John 3's earlier verses. This is determined from the lack of personal pronouns and quotation marks in the early manuscripts.
Biblical context [edit]
The third chapter of the Gospel of John[i] begins with the chat between Nicodemus[2] and Jesus, a Jewish itinerant preacher.[3] This is one of four times in which Nicodemus is mentioned in John:[four] [five] the other are 2:23–25, where he appeared just unmentioned; 7:50; and 19:39.[6] The coming together, likely in Jerusalem, is role of the passion of Jesus.[7] Dissimilar Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the Gospel of John is the only one to mention Jesus' life not chronologically.[8]
Nicodemus was a member of the Pharisees,[9] a Jewish religious movement in the Second Temple Judaism. Information technology was known for its strict adherence to the halakha, a rabbinical Jewish police,[10] and highly opposing attitudes on the ministry building of Jesus.[xi] To avoid trouble with other Pharisees,[12] Nicodemus came to Jesus at dark[13] – the but time a Pharisee is presented positively with Jesus.[fourteen] Later, Nicodemus became a follower of Jesus.[15]
On what Jesus did at the cleansing of the Temple, expelling merchants and money changers,[16] Nicodemus said he knew Jesus was "a teacher come up from God".[17] He then add together: "For no-i could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."[xviii] They so discussed most the demand to born once more earlier able to see the Kingdom of God,[19] and where the spirit goes after the decease of body.[twenty] Jesus then spoke about the conservancy and damnation that people do and do not believe in him volition face,[21] and criticised Nicodemus for the lack of theology understanding.[22]

Analysis [edit]
Themes [edit]
Comparison of John 3:15–17 (Male monarch James Version)[24]
|
|
|
John 3:16 is in which God'due south motives on sending Jesus,[25] which in Christianity are to give people assertive in the latter an eternal life, appears in the Gospel for a first time;[26] eternal life is as well a ascendant theme in the entire Gospel.[27] Theologian Larry Hurtado saw the verse to reflect Jesus'due south importance in Christianity.[28] The Methodist minister C. Yard. Barrett wrote, "Mention of the ... the eternal life given ... to believers ... suggests ... the full general setting of the work of Christ in the dearest and judgement of God."[29] Some use this verse to back up Christian universalism,[30] a view that all humans volition eventually exist saved by God.[31] However, Anglican bishop N. T. Wright confuted: "Those who turn down this way have no alternative left to them. And accepting the way of salvation ... is bound upward with faith in Jesus Christ."[32]
The verse's purpose is assumed to strengthen the religion of Christians, not to be an evangelistic tool. This is because John 3:xvi does not comprise commands of vital sacraments (such equally repentance and baptism).[33] For Pawson, the master problem of using information technology for evangelism "is that it does non adequately tell people how to answer to the gospel ... The problem with using a poetry in evangelism that does not tell people how to respond in proper item is that you get a uncomplicated decision which is not enough for a real change in life ... Information technology is non dealing with a gospel situation, and outward evangelistic thrust"; instead, the emphasisation of the verse is, for Christians, to proceed assertive.[34]
John 3:16 has parallels with surrounding verses[35] – up to iii:21, the chat becomes Jesus' monologue.[36] Because ancient Bible copies practise not use quotation marks for dialogues,[37] biblical scholars take disputed on where Jesus and Nicodemus' conversation ends.[38] This results in a controversial speculation[39] that John 3:16 is a personal commentary of an evangelist, traditionally John the Evangelist.[40] Theologian David Pawson said information technology is unusual for Jesus to say such in a third-person perspective,[41] or repeat and aggrandize on what he had said. Jesus never referred to himself as "merely begotten Son"[42] only every bit "Son of Human";[43] "only begotten son" is what the evangelist call Jesus in John ane.[44] Theologian Robert E. Van Voorst commented it is non of import to know if John 3:16 is said by Jesus and the respond depends on readers' views, stating:[45]
Are the words of John 3:sixteen–21 more than true or important if Jesus said them? For those Christians with what I call a 'red-letter mentality', these words would indeed be more than important if Jesus said them. Someone once said to me that information technology is important that Jesus spoke John 3:xvi ... Merely I don't think and then. The Christian church as a whole has never had a view of the Bible that says that some words are truer than others ... All the words of John three are fully truthful, and truly inspired. John 3:sixteen, read in its context, is a powerful expression of the gospel whether Jesus spoke these words or non.
Diction [edit]
John 3:16'southward wording is deemed by Bible commentators to be straightforward,[46] concise,[47] and administrative.[48] The verse is but 25 words long in the Male monarch James Version.[49] First, the poetry begins with "for" to link with prior poesy.[50] "God" here is understood to be God the Father,[51] the showtime person in the Trinity.[52] The word "so"—similar to "thus"—shows a comparing from John 3:15.[53] This is non a quantity but was mistranslated as such in most modern translations (for instance, in the Amplified Bible).[54] Many scholars said the word should exist placed near the beginning to continue the original significant, as was in Koine Greek, the original Bible language:[55]
Οὕτως γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ᾽ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
Thus for loved God the world that the Son the only begotten, He gave so that everyone assertive in Him not should perish merely should have life eternal.[56]
The next word is "loved",[57] known in Greek equally "agape". This concept does non have an equal word in English,[58] only information technology can be translated as the selfless, nonsexual dearest of God for human and of human being for God.[59] "World", translated from κόσμον (kosmon), ways the entire human race,[60] showing God's unlimited and universal beloved.[61] Pawson suggested there should be a meliorate culling to "world", because he thought it connotes an immoral meaning.[62] Sharing similar sentiments, Harris remarked, "Ofttimes in this Gospel at that place are ominous, negative ideas attaching to the term. The globe is evil and needs a saviour."[63] The verb "gave", in past tense, does not have a articulate subject area; Pawson assumed that the word refers to the prior "world".[64]
The "only begotten Son" shows a deep relationship between God the Begetter and God the Son (Jesus).[65] However, post-1950s translations changed it to "only Son"[66] or "one and simply Son";[67] this met criticism for setting aside the virgin nativity of Jesus[68] to his female parent Mary.[69] Dale Moody of the Journal of Biblical Literature offered two alternatives for John iii:16: "Only ane of his kind" (equally the verse derives from its original μονογενῆ meaning monogene, from μονος [monos, 1] and γένος [genos, kind]), or "his 'unique' son".[70] The writer Paul Borthwick wrote "only begotten Son" signifies that Jesus possesses "every artibute of pure Godhood";[71] Pawson, however, argued that the phrase stated Jesus is not everlasting.[72] [a] Theologian Pheme Perkins believed the phrase "He gave His only begotten Son" could be a reference to his afterward crucifixion,[fourscore] an stance shared by Murray J. Harris and Robert E. Van Voorst.[81] Voorst added that the crucifixion might be God to show his love stated in the verse.[82]
The discussion "whosoever" refers to believers, specified by "believeth in Him".[83] Whether the objective pronoun "Him" refers to Jesus or God the Father is debated; general consensus among the analysts is more inclined to the former.[84] The word "perish" is interpreted by theologians as annihilation,[85] though it is unclear if the give-and-take refers the perishing of death or the Last Judgement.[86] Evangelist Andreas J. Köstenberger stated "perish" meant living eternally in God's absenteeism,[87] and Pawson stated it as "a land of ruin or utter uselessness".[88] The word meaning of "everlasting" has been controversial.[89] Theologian Marianne Thompson said information technology does not mean solely "unending: information technology is qualitatively dissimilar from mortal life in the present globe, because it participates in the blessings of the coming age, including being with God, who is living and eternal ... such life is characterized by fullness and affluence";[ninety] though according to the New Attestation professor Merrill C. Tenney the word refers to imperishability.[91]
[edit]
"The reward for faith is beyond our comprehension ... For if the Male parent has given everything he has to the Son, and the Begetter has eternal life, then he has given to the Son to be eternal life ... Whoever believes in the Son has that toward which he tends, that is, the Son, in whom he believes. Simply the Son is eternal life; therefore, whoever believes in him has eternal life."
—Thomas Aquinas, a Cosmic philosopher[92]
Termed every bit "the gilded text of the Bible",[93] "the gospel in a nutshell",[94] and "lowest's text",[93] John three:16 has been a popular subject for theology comments. In Kösternberger's opinion, the verse summarises central teachings in Christianity that are to put beliefs in Jesus,[95] and "at that place is no eye ground: believing in the Son (resulting in eternal life) or refusing to believe (resulting in destruction) are the only options."[96] Christian philosopher William Lane Craig said the verse denotes salvation through Jesus but.[97] According to theologian Paul T. Butler: "God, motivated past infinite love, sent His just son ... not to condemn but to save everyone who believes in His Son ... This text shows God loving us, not for His sake alone, but for our sakes."[93]
Theologians found John 3:xvi reflecting Jesus' position as the second person of the Christian Trinity.[98]
Biblical scholar F. F. Bruce interpreted John 3:16 that God has a limitless and universal love to all humans.[99] Reformed pastor John Calvin wrote the verse asserts Jesus every bit the just way to God'southward salvation.[100] Sharing similar views, Barrett noted that the salvation would only be advantageous whenever there is a belief in Jesus.[101] Calvinist theologian D. A. Carson said the verse "makes information technology clear that, as practical to human beings, the love of God is not the event of their loveliness but of the sublime truth that 'God is love'."[102] Theologian Robert E. Webber described it as "an invitation to embrace a sweeping story that encompassed the whole of history".[103] Bible commentator J. Ramsey Michaels wrote: "God's intent is a saving intent, and the telescopic of his salvation is worldwide. His love for the whole human race expressed itself in the giving of his only Son [who would] die on the cross."[104]
Bruce Vawter, a Catholic priest, stated: "The only explanation that we shall ever have of the gift of eternal life made possible for us in the redemption achieved in Christ is the incredible love of God for the world."[105] Anglican priest Leon Morris compared the idea of God's universal love with God's exclusive love to Jews,[106] which is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament.[107] He so ended that "it is a distinctively Christian idea that God'due south love is broad enough to embrace all mankind. His love is not confined to any national grouping or any spiritual elite. Information technology is a love which gain from the fact that He is love."[106] Presbyterian pastor Lamar Williamson found that John iii:16 emphasises the significance of Jesus in Christianity as God the Son.[108] Catholic theologian Neal M. Flanagan said that the poetry is pivotal to the Johannine theology.[109]
Influences [edit]
John three:16 is considered to be a popular Bible verse[110] and acknowledged equally a summary of the gospel.[111] In the United States, the verse is frequently used past preachers during sermons[112] and widely memorized among evangelical churches' members.[113] 16th-century German Protestant theologian Martin Luther said the verse is "the gospel in miniature".[114] The author Max Lucado, who described the verse as "a xx-[5] word parade of promise", wrote in 2007 that the conciseness of the poetry fabricated information technology easy to retrieve. [115] In 2014, John 3:16 is amongst 10 most-searched verses in BibleGateway.com, a pop Bible website.[116] In a 2017 written report by Christianity Today, the poesy is a popular choice for passwords.[117]
"The text ... has been used by diverse Christian groups as a gospel in miniature considering it provides a blazon of summary for the entire gospel ... You have seen iii:sixteen on billboards or banners during national televised events because [they] rightly see it as an inexpensive means of mass evangelisation. Due to the millions of people who sentry such events, they take been savvy in their communication skills in reaching larger audiences."
—Judith Schubert in 2016[118]
The poetry has been often referenced by consumer products and public figures. In the United states of america, where Christianity is ascendant, evangelists ofttimes write "John 3:sixteen" on signs and walls to attract people's attention. Voorst added, "They hope that some people will recognise as a Bible reference, wait up the verse, and come up to faith in Jesus Christ."[119] The American footballer Tim Tebow wrote John 3:sixteen on the heart black during the 2009 BCS National Title Game, making it the nigh popular search term for more than 24 hours.[120] The poetry has been printed on the shopping bags past Forever 21 fashion retailer[121] and on paper cups' bottom past In-Due north-Out Burger fast-nutrient chain.[119]
Many books have been written that based on John three:16. Computer scientist Donald Knuth published 3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated in 1991, examining and illustrating sixteenth verses of every third chapter in the Bible books.[122] In 2009, Lucado wrote 3:16: The Numbers of Hope,[123] where portions of the poesy is titled in its chapters.[124] Pawson wrote Is John iii:16 the Gospel?, where he analyses every words and grammatical structure of the verse and remarked equally the "most misunderstood poetry".[125] John 3:16: What'south It All About? and Mission 3:16, were written by Harris in 2015 and Borthwick in 2020 respectively.[126]
Notes [edit]
- ^ In Christian theology, Jesus holds the same position along with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.[73] This concept is known every bit the Trinity,[74] which states that God is ane but exists co-as, co-eternally, and co-substantially as the aforementioned 3;[75] each essence, however, is not same towards the other ones.[76] In John three:16, the relationship betwixt God the Father and Jesus, also referred to as God the Son, is shown.[77] The addition of "begotten"—which purposely asserts that Jesus' life started after his virgin nascency—is considered to exist a contradiction of the doctrine,[78] since it does not affirm that Jesus is also cocky-existent together with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.[79]
