|the bracketed bit seems to be clumsy, and it's impossible to read aloud... But more to the point ''unique Son'' (why ''Unique''? Are all attributes to the Lord to be capitalized?) isn't as good as ''one and only'': υἱός μονογενής generally refers to a single child.

|There is no problem reading the CBP version aloud, and it properly clarifies that God's love is for the people, not the world.  The older translations now have an environmentalist spin due to changing meaning to the term "world".  The capitalization is because Jesus is God; the "unique" conveys the significance better than "one and only" (which leaves the possibility of God having a daughter, or that Jesus was not unique).
