Although it is possible that "Son" was replaced by "God" by an early Alexandrian copyist (the difference is only one of one letter in abbreviated form), it is more likely that "God" was here replaced by "Son" to make this verse read like John 3:16; John 3:18; and 1 John 4:9. The omission of both "God" and "Son" by one manuscript would seem to be a mistake of the eye.
