Original Text

Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt,
daß er seinen einigen Sohn gab,
auf daß alle, die an ihn glauben, nit verloren werden,
sondern das ewige Leben haben.
Dann Gott hat seinen Sohn
nit gesandt in die Welte, daß er die Welte richte,
sondern daß die Welt durch ihn selig werde.
Wer an ihn glaubet, der wird nit gericht’t;
wer aber nit glaubet, der ist schon gericht’t,
denn er glaubet nicht an den Namen
des eingebornen Sohnes Gottes.

English Translation

For God so loved the world
that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish
but have eternal life.
For God sent the Son into the world,
not to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.
He who believes in him is not condemned;
he who does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name
of the onlySon of God.


This piece was performed by the SFBC in Exceptional Composers of the Early German Baroque on February 17, 2001.
