THE TEXT
I do not speak Japanese (I would love to learn to someday), so I used online resources to create this picture for you to color. The translation is the New Japanese Bible, and I think it is the most popular among followers of Christ. I compared what other illustrators did with this verse and where they broke the lines, and I assumed they knew what they were doing, so I tried to follow their lead. I mostly broke the lines up by the translator's punctuation marks.
The examples I saw had the text going vertically in some and horizontally in others. I tried to create a coloring picture with the text going vertically, but it was too time-consuming and didn't look good, so I opted for the modern vertical approach.
John 3:16 says 神はそのひとり子を賜わったほどに、この世を愛して下さった。それは御子を信じる者がひとりも滅びないで、永遠の命を得るためである。

THE ART
I used the background in other language translations of this verse. I drew it in parts and did a lot of tracing. The border was done in part on the computer, and part was tracing. I used the computer to create the text.

COLOR THE PICTURE
If you use fine-tipped markers and colored pencils, you will be able to color the text. I prefer not to use black on the text; I like to use blue, brown, or a different color so the black outlines don't get lost. The border can be a lot of colors, and the frame bars can be a contrasting color. The rays of sunlight can be yellow, or you can just leave them white and color everything else.
I hope you have fun and create a masterpiece.
Blessings and Thank You.
