English Standard Version

I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant.

Ezekiel 16:60

God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

Ezekiel 16 (English Standard Version)

57 before your wickedness was uncovered? Now you have become an object of reproach for the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and for the daughters of the Philistines, those all around who despise you.
58 You bear the penalty of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the Lord.
59 “For thus says the Lord God: I will deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant,
60 yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant.
61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you take your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of the covenant with you.
62 I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the Lord,
63 that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.”

John 3 (English Standard Version)

13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

I won't forget the agreement I made with you when you were young, and I will make an everlasting agreement with you.

Ezekiel 16:60

God loved the world, and this is how: he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who trusts in him shouldn't die, but have eternal life.

John 3:16

Ezekiel 16 (Free Bible Version)

57 before you were shown to be so wicked yourselves? Of course now you are mocked by the Edomites and the surrounding nations, as well as by the Philistines. Everyone around you looks down on you.
58 You will have to experience the consequences of your immorality and your disgusting practices, declares the Lord.
59 This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to punish you according to your sins, because you treated the promise you made with contempt by breaking the agreement.
60 But I won't forget the agreement I made with you when you were young, and I will make an everlasting agreement with you.
61 Then you will remember the way you are meant to live and be ashamed when you meet your older and younger sisters when they return to you. I will give them to you as daughters, even though this was not part of our original agreement.
62 This is how I will endorse my agreement with you, and you will know that I am the Lord,
63 so that you will remember and be ashamed, and won't ever defend your disgraceful behavior when I forgive you for everything you've done, declares the Lord God.”

John 3 (Free Bible Version)

13 No one has gone up to heaven, but the Son of man came down from heaven.
14 Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of man must be lifted up,
15 that everyone who trusts in him will have eternal life.
16 For God loved the world, and this is how: he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who trusts in him shouldn't die, but have eternal life.
17 God didn't send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
18 Those who trust in him are not condemned, while those who don't trust in him are condemned already because they didn't trust in the one and only Son of God.
19 This is how the decision is made: the light came to the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light, for their actions were evil.
