Here's an interesting thing that I found tonight:

Plato, Timeaus 92c

kai\ dh\ kai\ te/loj peri\ tou= panto\j nu=n h)/dh to\n lo/gon h(mi=n fw=men e)/xein: qnhta\ ga\r kai\ a)qa/nata zw=|a labw\n kai\ sumplhrwqei\j o(/de o( ko/smoj ou(/tw, zw=|on o(rato\n ta\ o(rata\ perie/xon, ei)kw\n tou= nohtou= qeo\j ai)sqhto/j, me/gistoj kai\ a)/ristoj ka/llisto/j te kai\ telew/tatoj ge/gonen ei(=j ou)rano\j o(/de monogenh\j w)/n.

Translation in Loeb:

For this our Cosmos has received the living creatures both mortal and immortal and been thereby fulfilled; it being itself a visible Living Creature embracing the visible creatures, a perceptible God made in the image of the Intelligible, most great and good and fair and perfect in its generation—even this one Heaven sole of its kind.

Compare to:

John 3:16​
ou[twj ga.r hvga,phsen o` qeo.j to.n ko,smon( w[ste to.n ui`o.n to.n monogenh/ e;dwken( i[na pa/j o` pisteu,wn eivj auvto.n mh. avpo,lhtai avllV e;ch| zwh.n aivw,nionÅ
ESV John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
