And many churches like to translate it thusly: whoever believes in Him shall not have etrenal life of unconscionable suffering, but have eternal life.
I much prefer the way it is written. It fits the personality of the God of the old and new testaments.
John 3:16, NRSVCE:
16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
A very simple yet direct version of that great Holy Bible passage.
