John 3:14–22

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

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

¹⁶For 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.

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

¹⁸He 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.

¹⁹And 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.

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

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

²²After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them and baptized.
