John 3:11–21

¹¹“Truly, truly, I say to you, ^awe speak of what we know and ^btestify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.

¹²“If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³“^aNo one has ascended into heaven, but ^bHe who descended from heaven: ^cthe Son of Man.

¹⁴“As ^aMoses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must ^bthe Son of Man ^cbe lifted up;

¹⁵so that whoever ¹believes will ^ain Him have eternal life.

¹⁶“For God so ^aloved the world, that He ^bgave His ^1conly begotten Son, that whoever ^dbelieves in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷“For God ^adid not send the Son into the world ^bto judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

¹⁸“^aHe who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of ^bthe ¹only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹“This is the judgment, that ^athe Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for ^btheir deeds were evil.

²⁰“^aFor everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

²¹“But he who ^apractices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”
