John 3:11-21 in English

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;

¹⁵ that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.

¹¹ Most assuredly, I tell you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ever gone up into Heaven except the one who came from Heaven — the Son of Man.

¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

¹⁵ that everyone who believes in Him should not die, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so sincerely loved the world that He gave His only born Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

¹⁸ Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever doesn’t believe is condemned already because that person has not believed in the name of God’s only Son.

¹⁹ This is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, but people sincerely loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ Everyone who practices evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

²¹ Whoever practices the truth comes to the light to show clearly that their deeds have been done with God.”

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁵ That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and bear witness of that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁵ that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.

¹¹ Listen to this carefully: ◄My disciples and I/I► tell you (pl) about the things that my disciples and I have seen and know are true, but you (pl) do not admit that what my disciples and I are saying is true.

¹² I have told you about the things that happen here on earth that are true, but you (pl) do not believe me. So if I tell you (sg) about things that happen in heaven, ◄you certainly will not believe me!/how will you believe me?► RHQ

¹³ I am the only one who has gone up to heaven; no one else has gone up there. I am also the one who came down from heaven. So I know what happens there.

¹⁴ Long ago when the Israelite people rebelled against God in the desolate area, God sent poisonous snakes to bite them. But when Moses lifted up on a pole the model of a poisonous snake, everyone who looked at that model was healed from their snake bites. Similarly, even though I am the one who came from heaven, some day people will lift me up on a cross to kill me.

¹⁵ As a result, everyone who believes/trusts in me will have eternal life.”

¹⁶ God loved us people MTY in the world so much that he gave his only Son as a sacrifice for us, in order that everyone who believes in him would not be separated from God forever. Instead, they would have eternal life.

¹⁷ When God sent his Son into the world, his purpose was not to punish the people in MTY the world for their sins. Instead, he sent him in order that they might be saved by him {he might save them} from being ◄ guilty/punished► for their sins.

¹⁸ Everyone who trusts in his Son, God says that they will not be punished {that he will not punish them}. But God has already said that everyone who does not trust in his Son will be punished {that he will punish everyone who does not trust in his Son}, because they have not trusted in what his only Son has done for them.

¹⁹ The one who was like a light MET to reveal God's truth to us came into the world. But people loved doing what was evil, like darkness MET is evil, instead of loving the one who was like a light. That is the reason God will judge people and condemn them.

²⁰ Everyone who does what is evil hates the one who is like a light, and they will not come to the one who is like a light, because it would be shown { the one who is like a light would show} that their deeds are evil, and he would rebuke them.

²¹ But those who live according to God's truth come to the one who is like a light, in order that it may be seen clearly {that people may see clearly} that the things they have done, they did them because they have depended on God.

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

¹⁹ This is the judgement, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

¹¹ Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

¹² If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?

¹³ And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.

¹⁴ As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:

¹⁵ So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life.

¹⁶ For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

¹⁸ The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.

²⁰ The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.

²¹ But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and we bear witness of that which we have seen, and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I have said the earthly things to you, and ye believe not, how, if I say the heavenly things to you, will ye believe?

¹³ And no one has gone up into heaven, save he who came down out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that every one who believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

¹⁷ For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.

¹⁸ He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are;

²¹ but he that practises the truth comes to the light, that his works may be manifested that they have been wrought in God.

¹¹ Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.

¹² If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁵ That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.

¹⁸ He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.

²¹ But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.

¹¹ Most assuredly I say to you, that which We know, We speak, and that which We have seen, We bear witness to, and you do not receive Our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no one has gone up into heaven except He who came down out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world so that He might condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

¹⁸ “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light, because their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone that does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

¹¹ Most assuredly I say to you, we speak what we know and testify to what we have seen, but you (pl) do not receive our testimony.

¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I should tell you the heavenly?

¹³ No one has gone up into Heaven except the One who came down out of Heaven —the Son of the Man, who is in Heaven.

¹⁴ Also, just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, just so the Son of the Man must be lifted up,

¹⁵ so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life.

¹⁶ Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

¹⁸ The one believing into Him is not condemned, but the one not believing has already been condemned, because he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ “Now this is the basis for the condemning, that the Light has come into the world, but the people loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were malignant.

²⁰ For whoever practices evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds may not be exposed.

²¹ But whoever does the truth comes to the Light so that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they are done in God.”

¹¹ “I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know and give evidence regarding what we have seen, but you refuse to accept our testimony.

¹² If you don't trust what I say when I tell you about earthly things, how would you ever trust what I say if I were to tell you about heavenly things?

¹³ No one has gone up to heaven, but the Son of man came down from heaven.

¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of man must be lifted up,

¹⁵ that everyone who trusts in him will have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God loved the world, and this is how: he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who trusts in him shouldn't die, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ God didn't send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

¹⁸ Those who trust in him are not condemned, while those who don't trust in him are condemned already because they didn't trust in the one and only Son of God.

¹⁹ This is how the decision is made: the light came to the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light, for their actions were evil.

²⁰ All those who do evil hate the light and don't come into the light, because they don't want their actions to be exposed.

²¹ But those who do good come into the light, so that what God accomplishes in them can be revealed.”

¹¹ Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse.

¹² If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things?

¹³ For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen.

¹⁴ And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp,

¹⁵ That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life.

¹⁶ For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued.

¹⁸ Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that that light came into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then that light, because their deedes were euill.

²⁰ For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued.

²¹ But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God.

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁵ that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

¹⁶ Human beings are very much in God's feelings. Because of that he gave his very own male child for them, so that the ones who habitually believe in him should not become worthless dregs, but should live for ever in his camp.

¹⁷ He did not send his son here for what's-it, to banish them from his presence for ever. He sent him for us, to rescue everybody!

¹⁸ Whoever believes in God's Son, he will not send him away. Everyone who does not believe in that sort of way stays in a really bad way forever, because they reject God's very own son.

¹⁹ This is how it works: The Light of God has come to us, BUT / in contrast, opposite of what one would expect but men love darkness, they want to do evil.

²⁰ Evil-doers hate the Light of God, they do not come to the Light of God, because of shame about the bad things they have done.

²¹ Everyone who habitually does good will come to the light of God, and others will see how God is working in and through them.

¹¹ Truly, truly do I say to thee, We speak that which we know, and testify that which we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up

¹⁵ that every one who believeth in him may have everlasting life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave the only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him may not perish, but may have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved.

¹⁸ He that believeth in him is not condemned; he that believeth not hath already been condemned, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light hath come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

¹¹ In truth I tell you that we speak of what we know, and state what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our statements.

¹² If, when I tell you earthly things, you do not believe me, how will you believe me when I tell you of heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended to heaven, except him who descended from heaven — the Son of Man himself.

¹⁴ And, as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

¹⁵ so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him.

¹⁸ The person who believes in him escapes condemnation, while the person who does not believe in him is already condemned, because they have not believed in the only Son of God.

¹⁹ The ground of their condemnation is this, that though the light has come into the world, people preferred the darkness to the light, because their actions were wicked.

²⁰ For the person who lives an evil life hates the light, and will not come to it, fearing that their actions will be exposed;

²¹ but the person who lives by the truth comes into the light, so it can be clearly seen that God is in all they do.

¹¹ In truth I tell you that we speak of what we know, and state what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our statements.

¹² If, when I tell you earthly things, you do not believe me, how will you believe me when I tell you of heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended to heaven, except him who descended from heaven — the Son of Man himself.

¹⁴ And, as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

¹⁵ so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him.

¹⁸ The person who believes in him escapes condemnation, while the person who does not believe in him is already condemned, because they have not believed in the only Son of God.

¹⁹ The ground of their condemnation is this, that though the light has come into the world, people preferred the darkness to the light, because their actions were wicked.

²⁰ For the person who lives an evil life hates the light, and will not come to it, fearing that their actions will be exposed;

²¹ but the person who lives by the truth comes into the light, so it can be clearly seen that God is in all they do.

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses Drawn out lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God has agapao ·total devotion love· to the inhabitants of the earth, so he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men have agapao ·total devotion love· to the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

¹¹ Verely verely I saye vnto the we speake that we knowe and testify that we have sene: and ye receave not oure witnes.

¹² Yf when I tell you erthely thinges ye beleve not: how shuld ye beleve yf I shall tell you of hevenly thinges?

¹³ And no man ascendeth vp to heaven but he that came doune from heaven that is to saye the sonne of man which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifte vp the serpent in the wyldernes even so must the sonne of man be lifte vp,

¹⁵ that none that beleveth in him perisshe: but have eternall lyfe.

¹⁶ For God so loveth the worlde that he hath geven his only sonne that none that beleve in him shuld perisshe: but shuld have everlastinge lyfe.

¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde to condempne the worlde: but that the worlde through him might be saved.

¹⁸ He that beleveth on him shall not be condempned. But he that beleveth not is condempned all redy be cause he beleveth not in the name of the only sonne of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condempnacion: that light is come into the worlde and the me loved darcknes more then light because their dedes were evill.

²⁰ For every man that evyll doeth hateth the light: nether commeth to light lest his dedes shuld be reproved.

²¹ But he that doth truth commeth to the light that his dedes might be knowen how that they are wrought in God.

¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify about what we have seen. Yet you do not accept our testimony.

¹² If I told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ so that all who believe in him may have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send the Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but in order to save the world through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is already condemned because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

¹⁹ This is the reason for the judgment: The light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his deeds will not be exposed.

²¹ However, he who practices the truth comes to the light so that it may be plainly seen that his deeds have been done in God.”

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say to thee, We speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁵ That whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him may be saved.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him, is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to thee, for we speak that that we know, and we witness that that we have seen, and ye take not our witnessing.

¹² If I have said to you earthly things, and ye believe not, how if I say to you heavenly things, shall ye believe?

¹³ And no man ascendeth or goeth up into heaven, but he that came down from heaven, man’s Son that is in heaven or the Son of man which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses areared or reared up a serpent in desert, so it behooveth man’s Son to be raised up,

¹⁵ that each man that believeth in him, perish not, but have everlasting life.

¹⁶ For God loved so the world or Forsooth God so loved the world, that he gave his one begotten Son, that each man that believeth in him perish not, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, that he judge the world, but that the world be saved by him.

¹⁸ He that believeth in him, is not deemed, or condemned; but he that believeth not, is now deemed or condemned, for he believeth not in the name of the one or the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the doom, for light came into the world, and men loved more darknesses than light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For each man that doeth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, that his works be not reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his works be showed, that they be done in God.

¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to thee, for we speak that that we know, and we witness that that we have seen, and ye take not our witnessing. (Truly, I tell thee the truth, for we speak of that which we know, and we testify about that which we have seen, but ye do not receive or accept our testimony.)

¹² If I have said to you earthly things, and ye believe not, how if I say to you heavenly things, shall ye believe?

¹³ And no man ascendeth up into heaven, no but he that came down from heaven, man’s Son that is in heaven, or the Son of man which is in heaven, (or the Son of man who was in heaven).

¹⁴ And as Moses areared or reared up a serpent in (the) desert, so it behooveth man’s Son to be raised up,

¹⁵ that each man that believeth in him, perish not, but have everlasting life. (so that everyone who believeth in him, perish not, but have eternal life.)

¹⁶ For God loved so the world or Forsooth God so loved the world, that he gave his one begotten Son, that each man that believeth in him perish not, but have everlasting life (or but have eternal life).

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, that he judge the world, but that the world be saved by him.

¹⁸ He that believeth in him, is not deemed; but he that believeth not, is now deemed, for he believeth not in the name of the one begotten Son of God. He that believeth in him, is not deemed, or condemned; forsooth he that believeth not, is now condemned, for he believeth not in the name of the only begotten son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the doom, for light came into the world, and men loved more (the) darknesses than (the) light; for their works were evil. (And this is the judgement, yea, the light came into the world, but men loved the darkness more than the light; because their works were evil.)

²⁰ For each man that doeth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, (so) that his works be not reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth (the) truth, cometh to the light, (so) that his works be showed, that they be done in God.

¹¹ Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, for we speken that that we witen, and we witnessen that that we han seyn, and ye taken not oure witnessyng.

¹² If Y haue seid to you ertheli thingis, and ye bileuen not, hou if Y seie to you heueneli thingis, schulen ye bileue?

¹³ And no man stieth in to heuene, but he that cam doun fro heuene, mannys sone that is in heuene.

¹⁴ And as Moises areride a serpent in desert, so it bihoueth mannys sone to be reisid,

¹⁵ that ech man that bileueth in hym, perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf.

¹⁶ For God louede so the world, that he yaf his `oon bigetun sone, that ech man that bileueth in him perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf.

¹⁷ For God sente not his sone in to the world, that he iuge the world, but that the world be saued bi him.

¹⁸ He that bileueth in hym, is not demed; but he that bileueth not, is now demed, for he bileueth not in the name of the `oon bigetun sone of God.

¹⁹ And this is the dom, for liyt cam in to the world, and men loueden more derknessis than liyt; for her werkes weren yuele.

²⁰ For ech man that doith yuele, hatith the liyt; and he cometh not to the liyt, that hise werkis be not repreued.

²¹ But he that doith treuthe, cometh to the liyt, that hise werkis be schewid, that thei ben don in God.

¹¹ 'Verily, verily, I say to thee — What we have known we speak, and what we have seen we testify, and our testimony ye do not receive;

¹² if the earthly things I said to you, and ye do not believe, how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will ye believe?

¹³ and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down — the Son of Man who is in the heaven.

¹⁴ 'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,

¹⁵ that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son — the only begotten — He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;

¹⁸ he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ 'And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;

²⁰ for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected;

²¹ but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'
