That he gave his one and only Son

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

I have a store with Cafepress called Biblical T Shirts, for which I do designs based on Biblical scriptures. To do a design for John 3:16 is a humbling task, as it is, for many Christians, the most important passage of scripture in the Bible.

As with some other passages, I have gathered together 22 translations of John 3:16, many of them in more than one design. I am featuring some of my favorites here. You can visit Biblical Tshirts - John 3:16, however, and see all the designs there. I hope one will speak to you.
