Jd 1 ai. 3:16 The Gk word houtos, commonly translated in Jn 3:16 as “so” or “so much” occurs over 200 times in the NT. Almost without exception it is an adverb of manner, not degree (for example, see Mt 1:18). It only means “so much” when modifying an adjective (see Gl 3:3; Rv 16:18). Manner seems primarily in view in Jn 3:16, which explains the HCSB‘s rendering. aj. 3:16 1Jn 4:9 ak. 3:16 Jn 5:19; Heb 1:2 al. 3:16 Jn 12:25; Rm 5:8; 1Jn 3:16; 4:9-10 am. 3:17 Jn 8:11 an. 3:18 Mt 12:41; Mk 16:16 ao. 3:18 Jn 10:25; 1Jn 3:23 ap. 3:18 Jn 5:19 aq. 3:19 Ps 36:9; Jn 12:46 ar. 3:19 Jn 18:37; 1Jn 2:8 as. 3:20 Lk 6:27; 19:14 at. 3:20 Lit and does not come to the light au. 3:20 Mk 14:6; Gl 3:10; Jms 2:14-26 av. 3:21 Lit who does aw. 3:21 Jn 5:36 ax. 3:21 It is possible that Jesus’ words end at v. <xbr t="Jn 3:15">15</xbr>.
