John 3:12-21

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁸He 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.

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

²⁰For 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;

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