:Your objection seems nitpicky. "God so loved us" captures the original meaning better, and more concisely, than "God so loved the world," or "God so loved the people of the world."--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 09:40, 22 September 2012 (EDT)

::Frankly, there is nothing ''nitpicky'' about this: the translation "God so loved us" is strange and plainly wrong. You are introducing ''us'' in this gospel for the first time, changing completely the point of view of the narration. It's hard to overemphasize who wrong the kind of editorializing is.
::Of course you are correct to state in a sermon based on this text that "God so loved us", but what you are doing to this verse has nothing to do with translation.
