The Skeptics Annotated Bible (842 page)

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

18 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.

(3.18)
“He that believeth not is condemned.”
Those who, for whatever reason, do not believe in Jesus will be tormented forever in hell.
304 Is Salvation by faith alone?
359 How are people judged by God?

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and
there he tarried with them, and baptized.

(3.22)
“There he tarried with them, and baptized.”
438 Did Jesus baptize anyone?

23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

24 For
John was not yet cast into prison.

(3.24) “John was not yet cast into prison.”
337 Which came first: the calling of Peter and Andrew or the imprisonment of John the Baptist?

25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.

26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and
he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

(3.36)
“He that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
The “wrath of God” is on all non-believers.
