Is this plagiarism or paraphrase of John 3:16? "God sent Christ Jesus, his son, to die in order to redeem the sins of human beings because of his deep love for them. All who put their faith in Christ are promised everlasting life in heaven (John 3:16, ESV)."
Paraphrase
A student is writing a paper about John 3:16. Read the excerpt from his paper and determine if he plagiarized or not. "Christians learn in the Bible that God so loved the world that He sent Jesus to die on the cross and offer humanity salvation. This act was amazing because Jesus was God's only Son."
Plariarism
Is this a good summary or plagiarism of the Tower of Babel story in Genesis 11? "Genesis 11 describes a group of people who moved to Shinar to establish a large city and a tower with its top in the heavens. They hoped such a tower would create unity and keep their descendants from moving to distant lands. When the Lord saw what they were building, he knew that their common language would allow them to accomplish more than was fitting for human beings. So he went down and confused their language, so that they could not understand one another's speech and caused them to spread out across the land (Genesis 11:1-9, ESV)."
