John 3:11-16

11Truly, truly, I say to you, 1we speak of what we know and 2testify of what we have seen, and 3you do not accept our testimony. 12If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 4No one has ascended into heaven, but 5He who descended from heaven: 6the Son of Man. 14As 7Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must 8the Son of Man 9be lifted up; 15so that whoever 10believes will 11in Him have eternal life.

16“For God so 12loved the world, that He 13gave His 14 15only begotten Son, that whoever 16believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
