The CSB, GNT, & NLT take out the crucial word "begotten" from John 3:16:
John 3:16 KJB
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.β

John 3:16 CSB
[16] For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.βπ°
John 3:16 GNT
[16] For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.βπ°
John 3:16 NLT
[16] βFor this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.βπ°
The Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. Modern versions deny this fact by taking out the word "begotten" from their modern versions' verse of John 3:16!
But KJB is correct by keeping "begotten" in John 3:16 because Jesus is the only begotten Son of God.
Begotten means from the Father. Jesus is God the Son manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). Jesus is the Son of God and is the only begotten Son of God the Father as shown by below KJB verses.
1 John 4:9 KJB
[9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
1 John 4:14 KJB
[14] And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
John 3:18 KJB
[18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 9:35 - 38 KJB
[35] Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? [36] He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? [37] And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. [38] And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
Ephesians 3:14 KJB
[14] For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Bonus: Jesus, who is the only begotten Son of God the Father, is God the Son Himself:
Hebrews 1:8 KJB
[8] But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
1 John 5:20 KJB
[20] And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Discard the CSB, NLT, and GNT, and get and read the KJB instead.
