God’s Love

God’s Love

     a  Reason                                                   ^pFor God so loved the world

    b  Expansion                                                   that He gave His only begotten ^qSon,

    c   Purpose                                                           that

    d  Topic                                                                   whoever believes in Him

    e  Event                                                                       should not perish

    f   Contrast                                                                   but have everlasting life.

17 a  Reason                                                   ^rFor God did not send His Son into the world

    b  Purpose                                                      to condemn the world,

    c   Contrast                                                      but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 a  Topic                                                       ^s“He who believes in Him

    b  Event                                                          is not condemned;

    c   Topic                                                       but he who does not believe

    d  Event                                                          is condemned already,

    e  Reason                                                       because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 a  Pronouncement                                       And this is the condemnation,

    b  Expansion                                                   ^tthat the light has come into the world,

    c   Result                                                              and men loved darkness rather than light,

    d  Reason                                                                because their deeds were evil.

20 a  Reason                                                            For ^ueveryone practicing evil hates the light

     b   Result                                                                                and does not come to the light,

     c   Reason                                                                                    lest his deeds should be exposed.

21 a   Contrast                                                                        But he who does the truth comes to the light,

     b   Result                                                                                that his deeds may be clearly seen,

     c   Expansion                                                                               that they have been ^vdone in God.”^[1]
