John 3:14-22

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

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

¹⁶For 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.

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

¹⁸He 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.

¹⁹And 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.

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

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

²²After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.
