John 3:12-16

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

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

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

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

¹⁶For 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.
