Medieval A.D. 804
“Truly through the Son of God shall the world have life; for for no other cause came He into the world, except to save the world. God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of John, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on John 3:16-18
