St Paul
1 Corinthians 10:33
"...even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of the many, so that they may be saved."
John 3:16-19
"...For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. .."
