"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

Condemn = verb ἐσῴζοντο =

To separate/ put asunder.

To pick out/ select/ choose/ prefer.

To determine, resolve, decree, judge.

But to save = verb σῴζω =

To save/ rescue from danger or destruction.

To save from peril/ injury.

To save a suffering one.

Our God is the Saviour of all mankind.

He has come to save the suffering ones and σῴζω each and every one of them.
Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?

I prefer the focus to be on the word ἐσῴζοντο too
"A few drops of blood renew the whole world, and become for all men that which rennet is for milk, uniting and drawing us into one". "Christ is like leaven for the entire mass, and having made that which was damned one with himself, frees the whole from damnation".

Gregory of Nazianzu

Lastpost my friend: F.L. is slipping into discombobulation. The correct word for save = σῴζω. There is complete harmony with all our ABBA does. His condemnation brings life, His salvation brings super abundant life out of Him. How glorious He is!
