Johane 3:16-21

Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. Ngoba uNkulunkulu kayithumanga iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuthi ilahle umhlaba; kodwa ukuze umhlaba usindiswe ngaye. Okholwa yiyo akalahlwa, kepha ongakholwayo uselahliwe, ngokuba engakholwanga egameni leNdodana kaNkulunkulu ezelwe yodwa. Nakhu ukulahlwa, ukuthi ukukhanya kufikile ezweni, kepha abantu bathanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya, ngokuba imisebenzi yabo yayimibi. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo owenza okubi uzonda ukukhanya, akezi ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ingasolwa. Kodwa owenza iqiniso uyeza ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ibonakaliswe ukuthi yenziwe kuNkulunkulu.
