John 3:12-16

¹²If 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?

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

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

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

¹⁶For 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.
