John 3:17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Study Note
The clarifying declaration 'for God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved' corrects any misreading of the immediately preceding judgment-language (3:16-18) as primarily condemnatory. The purpose clause 'that the world through him might be saved' (hina sōthē ho kosmos di autou) encompasses the cosmic scope of the incarnation — 'the world' (kosmos) in John denotes the created order in its fallen estrangement from God, and the mission is restoration, not judgment. The verse has been central in universalist theological readings, though John 3:18's 'he that believeth not is condemned already' maintains the conditionality of salvation through response. Barth's universalist-inclined christocentrism drew extensively on John 3:17 as evidence that judgment is always secondary to and in the service of salvation.
