John 3:11–21

¹¹ⁱMost assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and ^jyou do not receive Our witness. ¹²If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ^13kNo one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man ²who is in heaven. ^14lAnd as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so ^mmust the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵that whoever ⁿbelieves in Him should ³not perish but ^ohave eternal life. ^16pFor God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten ^qSon, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ^17rFor God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

^18s“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹And this is the condemnation, ^tthat the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰For ^ueveryone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. ²¹But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been ^vdone in God.”
