It can be understood in that way, John 3:18, ". . . 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." Noting, ". . . is condemned already, . . ." Romans 3:23, " For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; . . ."
