¹⁷ And a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased.”^(A)

¹⁶ For God loved^(A) the world in this way:^[a] He gave^[b] his one and only^(B) Son,^(C) so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.^(D)

¹⁰ If you keep my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.^(A)

²⁶ I made your name^(A) known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have loved me with may be in them and I may be in them.”^(B)

¹⁶ And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.

God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
