Exegesis
Ton kosmon {τὸν κόσμον | ton kósmon} ‘the world’ gives the scope of that love, extending it beyond a narrow group to humanity in general.
Hoste {ὥστε | hṓste} ‘with the result that’ introduces the first outcome clause, and the repeated article in ton huion ton monogene {τὸν υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ | ton huión ton monogenḗ} ‘the Son, the only one of His kind’ creates an attributive emphasis that highlights the Son’s singular status.
In context — John 3:16
For God loved the world in this way: He gave His only Son , so that everyone who believes in Him may not be lost but may have eternal life.
