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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
New King James Version
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
21st Century King James Version
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.

New International Version
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

New International Reader's Version
God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world. He sent his Son to save the world through him. Anyone who believes in him is not judged. But anyone who does not believe is judged already. He has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
American Standard Version

New American Standard Bible
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
English Standard Version

Contemporary English Version
God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! No one who has faith in God's Son will be condemned. But everyone who doesn't have faith in him has already been condemned for not having faith in God's only Son.
Darby Translation
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal. For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him. He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
Young's Literal Translation
For God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him; he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
James Moffett Translation
For God loved the world so dearly that he gave up his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life, instead of perishing. God did not send his Son tinto the world to pass sentence on it, but to save the world by him. He who believes in him is not sentenced; he who will not believe is sentenced already, for having refused to believe in the name of the only Son of God.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. Anyone who believes in Him is not judged, but anyone who does not believe is already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.
Amplified Bible
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.]
New Living Translation
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. There is no judgment awaiting those who trust him. But those who do not trust him have already been judged for not believing in the only Son of God.
Dansk, Johannes 3:16-18
Thi således elskede Gud Verden, at han gav sin Søn den enbårne, for at hver den, som tror på ham, ikke skal fortabes, men have et evigt Liv. Thi Gud sendte ikke sin Søn til Verden, for at han skal dømme Verden, men for at Verden skal frelses ved ham. Den, som tror på ham, dømmes ikke; men den, som ikke tror, er allerede dømt, fordi han ikke har troet på Guds enbårne Søns Navn.
Deutsch, Johannes 3:16-18
Denn so hat Gott die Welt geliebt, daß er seinen eingeborenen Sohn gab, damit jeder, der an ihn glaubt, nicht verloren gehe, sondern ewiges Leben habe. Denn Gott hat seinen Sohn nicht in die Welt gesandt, daß er die Welt richte, sondern daß die Welt durch ihn errettet werde. Wer an ihn glaubt, wird nicht gerichtet; wer aber nicht glaubt, ist schon gerichtet, weil er nicht geglaubt hat an den Namen des eingeborenen Sohnes Gottes.
Español, Juan 3:16-18
Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna. Porque no envió Dios a su Hijo al mundo para condenar al mundo, sino para que el mundo sea salvo por él. El que en él cree, no es condenado; pero el que no cree, ya ha sido condenado, porque no ha creído en el nombre del unigénito Hijo de Dios.
Français, Jean 3:16-18
Car Dieu a tant aimé le monde qu'il a donné son Fils unique, afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse point, mais qu'il ait la vie éternelle. Dieu, en effet, n'a pas envoyé son Fils dans le monde pour qu'il juge le monde, mais pour que le monde soit sauvé par lui. Celui qui croit en lui n'est point jugé; mais celui qui ne croit pas est déjà jugé, parce qu'il n'a pas cru au nom du Fils unique de Dieu.
Ilonggo, Juan 3:16-18
Kay ginahigugma gid sang Dios ang kalibutan sa bagay nga ginhatag niya ang iya bugtong nga Anak, agod nga ang bisan sin-o nga magtuo sa iya indi mawala kundi hatagan sing kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan. Kay ang Dios wala nagpadala sang iya Anak diri sa kalibutan agod sentensyahon ang mga tawo nga silutan, kundi ginpadala niya siya sa pagluwas sang mga tawo. Gani ang bisan sin-o nga tawo nga nagatuo sa iya indi pagsentensyahon nga silutan, pero ang bisan sin-o nga wala nagatuo sa iya nasentensyahon na tungod nga wala siya nagtuo sa bugtong nga Anak sang Dios.
Íslenska, Jóhannesarguðspjall 3:16-18
Því svo elskaði Guð heiminn, að hann gaf son sinn eingetinn, til þess að hver sem á hann trúir glatist ekki, heldur hafi eilíft líf. Guð sendi ekki soninn í heiminn til að dæma heiminn, heldur að heimurinn skyldi frelsast fyrir hann. Sá sem trúir á hann, dæmist ekki. Sá sem trúir ekki, er þegar dæmdur, því að hann hefur ekki trúað á nafn Guðs sonarins eina.
Italiano, Giovanni 3:16-18
Poiché Dio ha tanto amato il mondo, che ha dato il suo unigenito Figlio, affinché chiunque crede in lui non perisca, ma abbia vita eterna. Dio infatti non ha mandato il proprio Figlio nel mondo per condannare il mondo, ma affinché il mondo sia salvato per mezzo di lui. Chi crede in lui non è condannato ma chi non crede è già condannato, perché non ha creduto nel nome dell'unigenito Figlio di Dio.
Kiswahili, Yohana 3:16-18
Kwa maana Mungu aliupenda ulimwengu kiasi cha kumtoa Mwanae pekee, ili kila mtu amwaminiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele. Maana Mungu hakumtuma Mwanae kuuhukumu ulimwengu bali auokoe ulimwengu. Amwaminiye yeye hahukumiwi; asiyeamini amekwisha kuhukumiwa; kwa sababu hakumwamini Mwana pekee wa Mungu.
Kreyol, Jan 3:16-18
Paske, Bondye sitèlman renmen lèzòm li bay sèl Pitit li a pou yo. Tout moun ki va mete konfyans yo nan li p'ap pedi lavi yo. Okontrè y'a gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Bondye pa voye Pitit li a sou latè pou kondannen lèzòm, men pito pou l' te kapab delivre yo. Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Pitit Bondye a p'ap kondannen. Men, moun ki pa kwè nan li, yo deja kondannen, paske yo pa t' gen konfyans nan sèl Pitit Bondye a.
Magyar, János 3:16-18
Mert úgy szerette Isten e világot, hogy az õ egyszülött Fiát adta, hogy valaki hiszen õ benne, el ne vesszen, hanem örök élete legyen. Mert nem azért küldte az Isten az õ Fiát a világra, hogy kárhoztassa a világot, hanem hogy megtartassék a világ általa. A ki hiszen õ benne, el nem kárhozik; a ki pedig nem hisz, immár elkárhozott, mivelhogy nem hitt az Isten egyszülött Fiának nevében.
Maori, John 3:16-18
Koia ano te aroha o te Atua ki te ao, homai ana e ia tana Tama kotahi, kia kahore ai e ngaro te tangata e whakapono ana ki a ia, engari kia whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu. Kihai hoki te Atua i tono mai i tana Tama ki te ao ki te whakahe i te ao; engari kia ora ai te ao i a ia. Ko ia e whakapono ana ki a ia, e kore e tau te he ki a ia: tena ko ia e kore e whakapono, kua whakahengia noatia ake, mona kihai i whakapono ki te ingoa o te Tama kotahi a te Atua
Nederlands, Johannes 3:16-18
Want God heeft zoveel liefde voor de wereld, dat Hij Zijn enige Zoon heeft gegeven; zodat ieder die in Hem gelooft, niet verloren gaat maar eeuwig leven heeft. God heeft Zijn Zoon niet naar de wereld gestuurd om de wereld te veroordelen, maar om haar van de ondergang te redden. Wie zijn vertrouwen op Jezus stelt, wordt niet veroordeeld. Maar wie niet gelooft, is al veroordeeld omdat hij geen vertrouwen heeft gehad in de naam van Gods enige Zoon.
Norsk, Johannes 3:16-18
For så har Gud elsket verden at han gav sin Sønn, den enbårne, forat hver den som tror på ham, ikke skal fortapes, men ha evig liv; for Gud sendte ikke sin Sønn til verden for å dømme verden, men forat verden skulde bli frelst ved ham. Den som tror på ham, blir ikke dømt; den som ikke tror, er allerede dømt, fordi han ikke har trodd på Guds enbårne Sønns navn.
Português, João 3:16-18
Pois Deus tanto amou o mundo que deu o seu Filho Unigênito para que todo o que nele crer não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna. Pois Deus enviou o seu Filho ao mundo, não para condenar o mundo, mas para que este fosse salvo por meio dele. Quem nele crê não é condenado, mas quem não crê já está condenado, por não crer no nome do Filho Unigênito de Deus.
Plautdietsch, Jehaun 3:16-18
Dan Gott haft dise Welt so Leef jehaut, daut hee sien eentsje Saen jeef, daut aula, dee aun am jleewe, nich feloare gone, oba daut eewje Laewe habe. Dan Gott schekjt sien Saen nich enn dise Welt enenn omm dee to rechte, oba daut dee Welt derch am kunn seelich woare. Waea aun am jleeft es nich jerecht; waea oba nich jleeft es aul jerecht, wiel hee nich aun daen eenstje Gottes Saen sien Nome jleeft.
Shqip, Gjoni 3:16-18
Sepse Perëndia e deshi aq botën, sa dha Birin e tij të vetëmlindurin, që, kushdo që beson në të, të mos humbasë, por të ketë jetë të përjetshme. Sepse Perëndia nuk e dërgoi Birin e vet në botë që ta dënojë botën, por që bota të shpëtohet prej tij. Ai që beson në të nuk dënohet, por ai që nuk beson tashmë është dënuar, sepse nuk ka besuar në emrin e Birit të vetëmlindur të Perëndisë.
Svenska, Johannes 3:16-18
För Gud älskade människorna så mycket att han gav dem sin ende Son, för att de som tror på honom inte ska gå under utan ha evigt liv. Gud sände inte sin Son till världen för att döma dem utan för att rädda dem. De som tror på honom blir inte dömda. Men de som inte tror på honom är redan dömda för att de inte tror på Guds ende Son.
Tagalog, Juan 3:16-18
Ito ay sapagkat sa ganitong paraan inibig ng Diyos ang sanlibutan kaya ipinagkaloob niya ang kaniyang bugtong na Anak upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa kaniya ay hindi mapahamak kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. Ito ay sapagkat hindi sinugo ng Diyos ang kaniyang anak sa sanlibutan upang hatulan ang sanlibutan. Sinugo niya ang kaniyang anak upang ang sanlibutan ay maligtas sa pamamagitan niya. Siya na sumasampalataya sa kaniya ay hindi hinahatulan. Ang hindi sumasampalataya ay nahatulan na sapagkat siya ay hindi sumampalataya sa pangalan ng bugtong na Anak ng Diyos.
