I was wondering if there is an easy way to search all my English Bibles to determine if they have the words of John 3:16 in red letters or not.   

i know some translations put them in red letters and others do not.   

Thanks for any hep on this.

    There does not appear to be any easy way to accomplish this; short of choosing the Bibles of interest and taking a look see.

    Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.

    Try this ... everything else is not in red ... but many Bibles don't use red for anything

    As you are considering this, also look at "Compare Pericope" because some translations (ESV & LEB) start a new pericope at 3:16 believing these 6 verses are by John, rather than Jesus.
