'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.' [ESV]
In a way, the verse demonstrates both a macro view and micro view. There's a breadth in "'whoever believes in him,'" but since this verse was originally directed to an individual person (as the verses at the beginning of the chapter make clear: "1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night..."), there's also a sort of specificity, similar to the intimate familiarity that God has with each person, as described in Psalm 139.
