John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son and
whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Pasted by steven:
KJV John 3:16 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.
If John 3:16 said "shall not perish," would it really make a difference?
