John 3:16
Famous Bible citation
John 3:16 is perhaps the most quoted verse in the Christian Bible, summarizing the Gospel message: "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." The citation appears on signs at sporting events, bumper stickers, and in evangelistic contexts as shorthand for Christian salvation theology.
Someone holding a John 3:16 sign at a football game is proselytizing.
