15: ινα πας ο πιστευων εις αυτον μη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον— edit Textus Receptus
15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.- edit KJV text
15: That whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.— edit Douay text


That whosoever. This shows the fulness and freeness of the gospel. All may come and be saved.

Believeth in him. Whosoever puts confidence in him as able and willing to save. All who feel that they are sinners, that they have no righteousness of their own, and are willing to look to him as their only Saviour.

Should not perish. They are in danger, by nature, of perishing -- that is, of sinking down to the pains of hell; of "being punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power," 2 Thes 1:9. All who believe on Jesus shall be saved from this condemnation and be raised up to eternal life.
